That&#x27;s not really right. In your first equation, if we&#x27;re looking at transmission losses, then V is going to be the voltage <i>drop</i> in the conductor, not the total voltage in the system. Voltage drop is proportional to current. For a given amount of delivered power, current is inversely proportional to <i>total</i> voltage. Thus, power dissipation <i>in the transmission lines</i> decreases as voltage increases.
