Benefits of using high efficiency power equipment that reduce distribution system losses

Energy efficiency serves three long term European goals on the agenda of the European Commission: the competitiveness of the European Industry, the environmental protection and the security of supply. In its 2005 Green Paper, the European Commission identified several actions for various industrial sectors in order to improve energy efficiency. In the electricity industry, the European Commission encourages the distribution network operators to innovate in the design and the operation of their networks in order to decrease their technical losses.
