Report Energy Theft

Report Energy Theft
Energy theft is illegal, dangerous and drives up energy costs for honest customers.

In Oregon alone, the estimated amount of money lost each year to energy theft is in the millions. Unfortunately, in the end, it's the customer that ends up paying for the loss — a key reason why we are working hard to prevent the problem.

Energy theft is a crime punishable by law, and it can be highly dangerous. Many meter tampering and energy theft activities result in electrocution, fire, explosion — even death.
Detecting energy theft

If you observe any of the following, it could indicate energy theft:
Someone other than a PGE employee working on a meter. Someone other than a PGE employee digging near underground power lines or tampering with overhead power lines. Individuals “bragging” about low energy consumption or low electric bills resulting from by-passing or tampering with their meter. Suspected illegal activity.
