Greece electricity theft regulation

Overview

The Regulatory Authority for Waste, Energy and Water (RAAEW) established significant penalties for electricity theft in Greece. These charges apply retroactively for up to five years and include a 100% surcharge on unrecorded consumption. For standard households, costs reach approximately 65 cents per kilowatt-hour, while businesses face charges exceeding 67 cents per kilowatt-hour. Beneficiaries of the Social Home Bill (KOT) receive lower rates with a 50% surcharge.

In addition to electricity costs, those found tampering with meters are liable for inspection expenses incurred by HEDNO (DEDDIE). For the second half of 2026, RAAEEW confirmed that administrative costs and the prices used to calculate unrecorded energy will remain unchanged. Total penalties, including administrative fees, can reach up to 662.21 euros depending on voltage levels and meter replacement requirements.
