Electricity theft is one of the non ignorable crime and one of the growing problem worldwide. Nation, utility company loses crores of rupees due to illegal usage of power. It is important to prevent or eliminate power theft for the efficient use of electrical energy. By implementing the proposed system unauthorized usage of electrical energy can be detected in the distribution network. Power theft can be in the form of meter tampering, illegal connection (stealing), billing irregularities and unpaid bills. As electrical energy is one of the major constraint for the developing countries, the energy should be used in optimized way. India is highly populated country, due to power theft consumer faces insufficient supply of electrical energy. This is a real time system which aims at eliminating all these difficulties by designing a simple device to send an alert signal through wireless communication whenever there is a power theft activity at a certain cluster of an area.
