Starting this year specialists of IDGC of the South PJSC (Rosseti group of companies) have been carrying out inspections of private houses and businesses and revealed 3.8 thousand cases of unauthorized consumption of electric energy for almost 94MWh or 229 million rubles.

677 consumers who illegally used consumed 3.8MWh of electric energy without concluding contracts, voluntary returned IDGS of the South JSC 14.7 million rubles. There are 133 cases for the total amount 9 million rubles left that will be sent to the court for further actions.

Of 3805 cases of unauthorized and unaccounted consumption of electric energy that have been revealed this year, 44% were committed in Volgograd region, 26% in Rostov region and Astrakhan region and 4% - in the Republic of Kalmykia.

The revealed volume of illegally consumed energy is 94MWh and it is 39% less than the figures of the last year. Such results have been mainly achieved by the measures taken by the Company to prevent unauthorized and unaccounted energy consumption.

Having started in January and finished by September 2015, our specialists installed over 36 thousand antimagnetic seals, 52% of which were installed at energy meters of private houses. Magnetic fields indicators have proved their efficiency in fight against illegal energy consumption; they allow not only to reveal the fact of tampering with meters, but to prove it as well.

Currently there aren't any ways of energy stealing that our specialists cannot detect and prove. Automatic energy metering devices show the difference in consumed and accounted energy for each particular power line. Indicators of concealed wiring and other modern technical devices point to the fact of tampering with electricity meters.
