There are several technical and non-technical losses in the transmission and consumption of electrical energy in Honduras. Currently, the electrical energy consumed in the construction of residential houses is not charged. It is necessary to estimate the amount of electricity consumed at the time of construction of residential houses in order to be able to charge for it. In this research, permits to install meters and the collection of national data on construction areas were carried out. The installation of CL100 FM2 meters in each house. And from the data collected, a formula was generated using a scatter plot that related electrical energy consumption to square meters built. This formula was applied locally and nationally to calculate the electrical energy consumed and not billed. The research also revealed the millions that ENEE did not receive because the meters were not installed. This research will serve to estimate the calculation of the electric energy to be used for the construction of a residential house and thus be able to charge at the time of obtaining a construction permit.
