In the Novosibirsk region electricity for 203 million rubles

During the reporting period, the energy sector increased the number of on-site inspections by 15%. In total, experts examined more than 200 thousand subscribers of the region. At the same time, cooperation with law enforcement agencies increased: 196 people were brought to administrative or criminal liability by the network company’s appeals. This is 68% more than in the same period last year.

The volume of unaccounted consumption associated with interference with the operation of control devices decreased by 60%. One of the factors was the expansion of the automated system of commercial electricity metering.

Since the beginning of 2026, almost 26 thousand smart meters have been installed in the Novosibirsk region. This is 2.2 times more than in the nine months of last year. Modern devices are placed outside the home. They independently transmit readings, monitor deviations in consumption and can limit the supply of electricity when exceeding the permitted power.

The company notes that illegal connection to the power grid creates additional loads on equipment, provokes voltage drops and increases the risk of accidents. Such violations may affect not only the energy sector, but also conscientious consumers – residents and businesses. In addition, unauthorized interference in the work of power facilities can lead to fires, injuries and deaths.

Residents of the Novosibirsk region can also report theft of electricity. To do this, there is a free hotline "Bright line" at 8-800-220-0-220. In addition, the appeal can be left through a special form “Report about theft” on the website of “Rosseti Novosibirsk”.

Earlier, MK in Novosibirsk reported that the number of failures in the power grid decreased by 8%.
