Distribution Loss Factors

The Distribution Loss Factor (DLF) is used by a retail supplier to increase the customer's metered energy amount to account for electrical losses in the distribution system. The AER requires that electricity distributors calculate DLFs for their network. The following report nominates the DLFs for Endeavour Energy’s electrical distribution network for the current financial year.

Cost Allocation Method
This document outlines Endeavour Energy's current cost allocation methodology. This cost allocation methodology:

 

• Is consistent with the Accounting Separation Code for Electricity Distributors in NSW;
• Has an underlying recognisable and rational economic basis;
• Results in financial information which satisfies the concepts of relevance and reliability, thereby ensuring that the substance of the underlying transactions and events is reported.

 

Allocating costs from Endeavour Energy's various business units to the following categories was central to the regulatory proposal:

 

• Direct control standard control services (prescribed distribution services);
• Direct control alternative control service (public lighting excluded service);
• Unregulated distribution service (metering types 1 to 4);
• Unregulated distribution services (other excluded services);
• Unregulated distribution services other;
• Regulated retail; and
• Other retail.

 

Endeavour Energy's cost allocation method was approved by the AER as part of the 2009 distribution network determination process.
