To calculate the loss factor as outlined in the ECA, transfers from the thirteen-month rolling window containing April 2022 to April 2023 as well as estimated station losses for valve cooling, transformer cooling, and auxiliary systems are utilized. The loss factor has not changed compared to the previous report and is 4.32%.
