Estimated Transmission Loss Adjustments

Glossary

Estimated Transmission Loss Adjustments (ETLM/ETLMOs) are small adjustments made to account for electricity lost as it travels through the grid. These are estimated values used for reporting purposes to give an idea of transmission losses. 

This parameter is the estimated value of two types of adjustment:

  • Delivering Transmission Losses Adjustment (TLMOᵢ⁺) – applied to generators 
  • Off taking Transmission Losses Adjustment (TLMOᵢ)– applied to suppliers

The Imbalance Settlement Group (ISG) reviews the ETLM values annually on behalf of the BSC Panel.
