Watch out for meter disruptions risking penalties
The Electricity Regulatory Authority and Consumer Protection Agency warned against common mistakes that could be mistaken for electricity theft. These include opening the meter cover or tampering with internal connections, especially in pre-paid meters equipped with sensitive "safety probes." They confirmed that such actions can result in hefty fines, service disconnection, and referral to the prosecution, which may impose penalties of at least six months in jail and fines up to 100,000 Egyptian pounds. The agency advised against touching, attempting to modify, or moving the meter, and recommended immediately reporting any faults or signs of tampering.
