The theft of electric service is an issue that plagues
utilities across the nation and abroad. Besides the fact that
energy theft is a crime, it also creates an undue burden for
ratepayers, to whom the cost associated directly with stolen
energy and associated revenue protection programs is often
passed. Nationally, it is estimated that as much as $6 billion
per year is lost by utilities through theft.
This two day EUCI Energy Theft course will offer
comprehensive, yet palatable information and techniques on
recognizing, investigating and recovering these types of losses
