Energy Theft & Tampering

AMI Electricity meter on the side of a houseMany years ago, CEC launched a meter change-out pro­gram imple­ment­ing an advanced meter­ing infra­struc­ture (AMI) through­out our sys­tem. This allows us to spot a prob­lem down­line from a trans­former, trace it back upstream to find the fault; track and ana­lyze pow­er-use pat­terns to help shape demand; mon­i­tor and improve pow­er qual­i­ty and reli­a­bil­i­ty – all mak­ing ener­gy theft & tam­per­ing that much eas­i­er to spot!

Where there is a will, there is a way for a thief, though! Van­dal­iz­ing prop­er­ty to steal mate­ri­als, tam­per­ing with a meter, and divert­ing pow­er from anoth­er member’s home are a few exam­ples of very ille­gal, cost­ly, and dan­ger­ous actions with a high risk of shock, fire, seri­ous injury, and death.

If you sus­pect ener­gy theft, report it in con­fi­dence by call­ing 843–538-5700.
