Also during operations carried out this week, teams from the distributor identified a clandestine energy connection in the Mar do Norte neighborhood. Enel warns that energy theft is a crime, punishable by one to four years in prison. In cases involving power, telephone, data cables or rail and subway transport, the sentence can reach eight years, according to the legislation. In addition to criminal liability, anyone who makes clandestine connections or tampers with meters may be forced to pay amounts relating to energy consumed and not billed during the period of the irregularity. According to the distributor, energy theft also compromises the quality of supply, increases the risk of accidents, can overload the electrical network and cause service interruptions. The company estimates that, without this type of irregularity, Enel Rio consumer tariffs could be around 5% lower.
