More than half of the countries that track these metrics lost at least 10 percent of the ir electricity in 2023, according to the World Bank. Losses topped 20 percent for 24 of those nations. Two countries lost more than half of what they generated . With numbers this high, c utting down on losses makes sense . Electricity demand is rising beyond what many grid operators can supply ; reducing waste would help meet some of that demand without having to build new power plants . Plus, when the power comes from fossil fuels , any loss means emitting even more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. And electric losses hit the bottom lines of power providers,
