Oil and gas “fact”. 1-2% of energy is lost during the step-up transformer from when the electricity is generated to when it is transmitted. 2-4% of energy is lost in the transmission lines 1-2% of energy is lost during the step-down of the transform from the transmission line to distribution. 4-6% of energy is lost during the distribution https://www.chintglobal.com/sa/en/about-us/news-center/blog/how-much-power-loss-in-transmission-lines.html
