The task force, it added, should have CUC and Georgetown as members.
In its report, Georgetown identified at least five principal factors that contributed to CUC’s high level of losses: the losses in the distribution primary conductor; illegal service connections and meter tampering; defective or out of calibration single phase meters; faulty primary metering installation; and errors in the customer information system which results in non-billed accounts or miss-billed accounts.
Georgetown said the task force will verify the authorized but unmetered services, and determine what action CUC has taken to develop estimates, actual billing and energy accounting.
The consulting group said CUC should provide a technical loss level for each distribution feeder as determined from the results of its latest network analysis.
Unaccounted for energy is a major problem at CUC, Georgetown said.
“This is a serious matter, but is greatly within CUC’s control — at the present time losses are totally out of control by any measure.”
