Abstract

The commercial activities of informal street vendors in many of the world's cities causes economic losses in the form of energy theft. In consequence power utilities are looking for technical solutions that correct these financial losses, and that offer a safe and effective electrical installation. They also hope to motivate a culture of responsible use of energy among users.
