IDGC of Centre summed up the results of measures to identify and suppress non-metered and non-contractual electricity consumption for 9 months of 2017.
In the course of large-scale raid work carried out by personnel of Distribution Zones and electricity metering offices of the company’s branches, including jointly with specialists of the security unit, 8,652 facts of illegal consumption of electric power were identified in the service area of IDGC of Centre (11 subjects of the Central Federal District).
Particular attention during the raids was paid to work with consumers who had previously been caught in illegal energy consumption. Their check was preceded by thorough preparation and instruction of raid participants by specialists from security units. In the context of conducting operational search activities, in a number of cases, employees of the regional offices of the FSB and the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs were involved in the raids.
The power engineers took measures to recover the damage caused. In January-September, offenders were charged 39 million rubles for non-contractual consumption. Judgments were rendered against citizens who did not voluntarily compensate for the damage. In addition, the applicant’s materials on the facts of unauthorized electricity consumption, identified by the security unit of IDGC of Centre, were sent to law enforcement agencies.
IDGC of Centre intends to consistently seek compensation for damages from unscrupulous consumers. It should be recalled that the company spends funds collected from energy thieves, including, to finance the main production activities, ensuring reliable and uninterrupted power supply to consumers.
