Abstract

Electricity theft is an unlawful use of electrical power that not only causes financial losses to PT PLN (Persero) but also disrupts supply reliability, poses safety risks, and weakens national electricity governance. This study aims to analyze the factors contributing to electricity theft and examine the legal sanctions imposed on perpetrators under Indonesian positive law. The research employs a normative juridical method with statutory, conceptual, and analytical approaches, using primary legal materials such as Law No. 30 of 2009 on Electricity, Law No. 1 of 2023 on the Criminal Code, and Law No. 1 of 2026 on Penal Adjustments. Findings indicate that electricity theft is more appropriately categorized as a specific criminal offense in the electricity sector, particularly under Article 51 paragraph (3) of the Electricity Law. The main contributing factors include economic pressure, environmental influence, weak supervision, and low legal awareness. Effective mitigation requires a combination of criminal law enforcement, technical supervision, legal socialization, and coordinated efforts between PLN and law enforcement authorities.
