Outsmarting the culprits: cracking down on electricity theft with smart technology. Energy Malaysia, 18. pp. 39-40. ISSN 2289-7488 (2019)
Abstract
Where there is a will, there is a way. This is no different when it comes to electricity theft. With every anti-theft measure set in place, the culprits will find newer and
smarter ways to bypass them. Attesting to this statement, the Northeast Group, LLC’s ‘Electricity Theft and Non-Technical Losses: Global Markets, Solutions and Vendors’
study revealed that electricity theft and other non-technical losses total a staggering $96 billion per year globally. This situation was echoed in Malaysia, in 2017, where Tenaga Nasional Berhad (TNB) recorded around RM102 million in losses while Sabah Electricity (SESB) calculated losses of around RM3 million. This spells the need to upgrade the current state of anti-theft technology in the electricity sector
