The global issue of electricity theft has a negative impact on both the utilities and the people who use the energy. It impairs utility company economic growth, creates electrical risks, and has an effect on consumers' expenses for electricity. The emergence of smart grids is crucial for the detection of power theft as they provide vast amounts of data, including information on consumer consumption that can be used to identify theft using over voltage and over current detection methods. The solution presented in this article employs an Arduino uno micro controller board and IOT to monitor and maintain surveillance on power theft. An alarm with SMS notification will be sent to the officials and the power will be shut off whenever there is a power outage or tampering with an energy meter.
