Energy Theft

Report an Energy Theft

Meter Handling Policy - Third party procedures for handling Westar meters.


Energy theft is a serious crime that results in higher costs passed down to customers. Some customers tamper with their service connections or meters to avoid paying their fair share. Others commit fraud by establishing service with false or stolen identities.


Energy theft does more than just increase the cost of electricity: tampering with electric meters and wiring can result in serious fires, injury and even death. It poses serious danger to the thief, to people living nearby and to Westar employees.


Some individuals have endangered their lives and the lives of others by stealing conductors and copper wire from facilities and selling these materials to scrap yards. If you observe any suspicious activity in this regard, contact local law enforcement immediately.


Our employees locate some illegal activity but we need your help.


If you suspect someone of fraud or tampering with his or her service, please contact us.
