Only during the year 2023, a fixed 6,715 thieves of electricity, have been obliged to restore the losses, which is considered the first step within a series of consequences that await them.

The largest value that a commercial consumer has been forced to return to KEDS in the framework of recovery of losses last year is 52,489.64 euros.

The phenomenon of theft of electrical energy, which in practice is classified as commercial loss, is equal to the difference between the energy consumed and the energy billed. Commercial losses are being caused by direct grid connections, tampering with electricity meters, and other clandestine methods of deviating from metering points by unsuspecting consumers.

As a result, commercial losses from electricity theft are a legal obligation to be returned to the company by the electricity abusers themselves. Known as "Recovery of Losses", this method coincides with the rule in force of the supervisory authority, ERO, whose calculation is made up to six months for domestic consumers and up to one year for commercial ones.

KEDS continues to carry out about four hundred daily checks throughout Kosovo to identify electricity thieves, increasing the number of control teams and their intensification. As a company that is keeping pace with the latest energy-technological trends, KEDS has installed modern equipment in power plants to monitor the flow of energy to each consumer.

KEDS calls on all consumers not to steal electricity, because sooner or later they will have to pay for the damages and the only form of impunity is its legal use.

In any form of legal use, electricity costs you less!
