holy crap someone on there looks just like you.

in BC i dont know about other places. We use power meters in the house which measure the amount of power one uses. They come every 3 months and look at the meter. Big grow ops hire someone or have someone that bypasses this device so they get free power. This is because the only measure of the consumption is at house level.

They have no way of detecting when you use the power, they only know the average use over the period.

If they could detect when you are using power then they could detect when peoples use doesn’t match the meter (bypassing). So the big ops wouldn’t get by.

Isn’t there a device that regulates spikes, if so. Why do people have them?
