Energy loss due to tampering continues to be a major concern for utilities. Offenders are now more sophisticated and are illegally diverting more energy than ever, increasing the need for electricity theft detection. Whether through relatively simple meter tampering or complex diversion schemes, energy diversion is a public safety concern and can have a considerable effect on your bottom line. However, utilities are taking proactive approaches to revenue protection.

Georgia Power is using a network-agnostic solution to meet their needs and are proactively detecting (and preventing) theft in a variety of ways that are ultimately contributing to enhanced operational efficiencies and additional revenue. By utilizing sophisticated analytics, they are able to measure key data and install safeguards in their continued effort to protect utility revenue. Their solution detects anomalies, reduces manual field investigations, seamlessly integrates with AMI systems, and is scalable to meet new and future use cases. In just one example, they discovered a large residential property with an active meter that had little-to-no usage where the bills dropped 94% and totaled an estimated loss of over 99,500 kWh (>$13,000) over a three-year period. They were able to recover the full amount.

Learn about Georgia Power’s drivers and strategy, how they utilize their solution, the value that is realized and how their initial business case of finding theft has expanded to exposing other issues, leading to recovering more revenue than anticipated. Attendees will also understand how cases are discovered, generated, investigated and used to glean actionable insights that further enhance grid edge intelligence and visibility.
