Russia (bbabo.net), - In 2021, Rosseti Yug specialists revealed about 1.3 thousand facts of electricity theft with a total volume of 19.3 million kWh. The damage from the actions of violators amounted to 73.2 million rubles.

In particular, the company's losses due to unmetered consumption amounted to 15.6 million kWh of electricity in the amount of 50.8 million rubles, due to consumption without power supply contracts - 3.7 million kWh in the amount of 22.4 million rubles.

The largest volume of illegal consumption last year was noted in the Astrakhan region (47.6%), the smallest - in the Republic of Kalmykia (14.7%). In the Volgograd and Rostov regions, this figure was 20.7% and 17%, respectively.

During the year, consumers reimbursed Rosseti Yug for more than 8.7 million rubles for unauthorized electricity consumption without concluding a contract. Currently, the courts are considering another 56 acts of non-contractual consumption in the amount of 17.7 million rubles.

Recall that in 2020, in the regions of presence of Rosseti Yug, more than 2.2 thousand facts of theft of electricity with a total volume of almost 82 million kWh were revealed. The reduction in the volume of unauthorized electricity consumption in 2021 is due to the introduction of high-precision equipment and new metering technologies that make it possible to detect and prevent energy theft. Currently, more than 250,000 new generation metering devices operate in all branches of the company.

It should be remembered that unauthorized interference in the operation of electricity connection schemes is fraught not only with criminal liability and monetary fines, but also with interruptions in the network, failure of household appliances and electric shock.
