Cctv news: Continue "Building a Thousand Miles with Integrity". Electricity meter is a metering device for users’ electricity consumption, but some people have come up with the idea of electricity meter in order to pay less electricity. Recently, Luoyang, Henan Province is carrying out a centralized crackdown on electricity theft, and some users who steal electricity by stealing meters have been arrested.
After stealing electricity for 100 degrees, only pay 27.6 degrees.
In Longfu Community, Luoyang New District, technicians found that there were obvious signs of tampering with the lead seal and certificate of the meter with the number 501 of this household. According to the Regulations of Henan Province on Power Supply and Consumption, once an electric meter is turned on illegally, it is regarded as stealing electricity.
Tian Hai, Inspector of Electricity Consumption of Marketing Department of State Grid Luoyang Power Supply CompanyThe approximate range of its current error is that this (electric meter) actually used 100 degrees of electricity, but we only counted 27.6 degrees.
Subsequently, technicians knocked on the door of the household.
Jin Shuaiyu, a staff member of the new business department of State Grid Luoyang Power Supply Company.: What is the error after verification? We will calculate how much electricity you have paid less in recent years, and at the same time, you will have to bear three times the electricity bill for default use.
Resident Liu: Why?
Jin Shuaiyu, a staff member of the new business department of State Grid Luoyang Power Supply Company.: Because you steal electricity.
Resident LiuThis is the meter you installed. You replaced this meter and installed it, didn’t you? Do you think I have this watch box (key)? Do I have the ability to steal electricity?
Although the resident refused to admit stealing electricity, the evidence was in front of her. According to the "Business Rules for Power Supply and Use", the technicians cut off the electricity at her home, and after the review, they will further make up the electricity bill.
The monthly average electricity consumption plummeted, and the electricity meter was illegally changed twice.
Another household’s electricity meter, according to the opening record, was illegally turned on twice in January and June this year. During the five months, the total electricity consumption was 300 degrees, with an average of 60 degrees per month. But after that, the average monthly electricity consumption of this household is close to 700 degrees. According to the experience, the technicians judged that these two changes, one was tampering and the other was returning to normal.
State Grid Luoyang Power Supply Company New Area Business Department Inspector Yang PengyuanBasically, it can be judged that the electricity meter was stolen during two changes.
However, the resident insisted that he had not done anything with the electricity meter.
Resident Wang.: You can inquire in the community. We were not at home for two months, so just ask.
However, in the face of the evidence, coupled with the knowledge that there would be an immediate power outage and legal responsibility, the resident quickly admitted that he had tampered with the electricity meter. Later, he heard that the power department would strictly investigate and double the fine, so he changed it back.
Resident Wang.: I’ll tell you the truth, you have found out. I only have two or three months in total. You can do whatever you say, and it will never happen again. I promise you that.
Turn off the high-power electric appliance and hide it for inspection.
In this household, after the technician knocked on the door, the indicator light of the meter with number 502, which had just flashed frequently, suddenly slowed down, just as the owner used the excuse of changing clothes. According to the technicians, this means that the owners are well aware of the situation of stealing electricity, and when they encounter inspection, they turn off the high-power appliances in their homes, but the on-site appraisal still shows that there is a big error between the real-time electricity consumption and the measured electricity consumption.
Tian Hai, Inspector of Electricity Consumption of Marketing Department of State Grid Luoyang Power Supply CompanyCompared with the actual electricity, the electricity measured now is only one sixth, about 70 degrees, and this watch only counts 10 degrees.
journalistThat means she paid more than 70 degrees less for electricity.
Tian Hai, Inspector of Electricity Consumption of Marketing Department of State Grid Luoyang Power Supply Company: right.
In the face of the test data, the owner finally signed a confirmation form for default electricity consumption.
Stealing electricity requires paying a high fine in addition to paying the electricity bill.
What kind of punishment will be given to changing the meter illegally and paying only 10 degrees for 100 degrees of electricity?
After the initial inspection on site, the technicians sent these suspicious meters to the metering center for recheck. After testing, the error values of these meters were all above negative 70%. For example, the owner who did not admit to stealing electricity before, after review, the error value of this meter with number 501 under her name was negative 83.4%, and the electricity stolen lost more than 15,000 kwh. According to the relevant provisions of the Electricity Law and other laws and regulations, users who steal electricity should not only pay the electricity fee according to the amount of electricity stolen, but also bear the corresponding electricity fee for breach of contract.
Tian Hai, inspector of electricity consumption in the marketing department of State Grid Luoyang Power Supply Company: After our calculation, the electricity fee for the 501 household is more than 9,400 yuan, and the electricity fee for the default use that needs to be paid back is more than 28,000 yuan, so we have to pay back more than 37,000 yuan in total.
Private electricity meters are easy to call and burn, which may cause fire hazards.
The technician told the reporter that after many meters were illegally changed, people would get an electric shock, burn meters or burn electrical equipment because of problems such as weak connection of components and devices. After two hours of continuous work, the temperature of the meter body keeps rising.
Tian Hai, Inspector of Electricity Consumption of Marketing Department of State Grid Luoyang Power Supply CompanyAt present, our room temperature is about 18 to 20 degrees Celsius, and our electric meter has reached nearly 80 degrees Celsius. Like in our summer, if it is on site, the temperature of the electric meter may exceed 100 degrees Celsius.
Users who steal electricity are locked by big data or bear legal responsibility.
At present, in Luoyang, Henan Province, the electricity consumption of residents is one meter per household. Then, there are 2.51 million electricity users in Luoyang City. How can we judge which meter has been changed privately and which user has stolen electricity? The reporter learned that this is due to big data analysis.
Tian Hai, Inspector of Electricity Consumption of Marketing Department of State Grid Luoyang Power Supply Company: In July 2018, our power supply was 65,000 kWh, but we only copied back 45,000 kWh from the electricity meter. Nearly 20,000 kilowatt-hours of electricity meter reading have not been copied back, so now we need to find out where the loss of 20,000 kilowatt-hours has gone, and we need to make a key analysis for the users brought by this transformer.
After locking the suspicious transformer, the next step is the detection instrument.

Jin Shuaiyu, a staff member of the new business department of State Grid Luoyang Power Supply Company.In two or three days, it will scan all the (meters) hanging under this substation (transformer) for two or three times. This will take a very accurate value and tell us which users are very suspected of stealing electricity.
After locking the users who are suspected of stealing electricity, check them door by door and table by table. Even if all the high-power appliances are turned off, the detection instrument can still accurately capture the error of the changed meter.
Tian Hai, Inspector of Electricity Consumption of Marketing Department of State Grid Luoyang Power Supply CompanyWe can detect even a small amount of electricity consumption in his home.
In addition to financial recovery, the reporter learned that up to now, 7 of the 1,068 users who have stolen electricity in Luoyang have been detained according to law for allegedly stealing public and private property. The Luoyang Municipal Government Credit Office is also working out measures in conjunction with the power supply department. The next step is to incorporate the stealing of electricity by individuals or enterprises into the disciplinary system for dishonesty.

Not being able to fly by train will have a greater impact on enterprises, especially in terms of credit, government bidding and foreign business contacts, which will suffer very heavy losses.
