Power distribution involves three main inter-related aspects i.e. cost of distribution and electricity tariff, leakage in distribution and distributive justice. The present study is focused on issues relating to leakage in distribution i.e. power theft and inefficient conservation practices. These two problems contribute to tripping, power-cuts, higher tariff, odd hour power supply etc.
