Few queries,

How is technical transmission loss being accounted for? AFAIK, Afghanistan's transmission lines are of lower kv, hence, losses could be more.
What about electricity loss due to theft in Afghanistan? How is that going to be controlled?

To give an idea, the US has 7% loss due to transmission.
