What is energy theft

Energy theft is tampering with a meter or its connections. This prevents the meter from accurately recording the amount of electricity consumed.

It places households and communities at risk and can cause damage to property, injury and even risk to lives.

Energy Theft is a crime. It can lead to prosecution like any other form of theft, leading to a criminal record for the householder.
