Electricity meters / consumption.
I have heard of instances where people are “adjusting” municipal electricity meters to give lower consumption figures – justifying this by stating that the punitive, excessively high rates are unjustified – the authorities are mismanaging, involved in corruption (tender process), recovering “lost” electricty costs from innocent consumers, we are subsidising the cost of “free” electricity given to many lower income groups (should be paid by govt.), paying for costly capital projects………., Extra charges (not previously charged): Management levy, service charge,network charge and VAT on all these costs.
Question: Can one, therefore, reasonably “adjust” meters to give a lower consumption reading?
