      abstract = {Energy management and optimisation are part of the key performance indicators of good governance, in which the country has failed largely. Billions of naira has been expended on generation, transmission and distribution which yield little or no result. However, merely generating more power is not enough to meet present day requirements; power consumption and losses have to be closely monitored so that the generated power is utilized in an efficient manner. Illegal electricity usage is indirectly affecting the economic status of the country and the planning of national energy becomes difficult because of unrecorded energy usage. This proposed Energy Theft Detector (ETD) consists of PZEM Energy Meter with current transformer to monitor energy consumption, detect meter bypassing and illegal tapping. For effective access of utility provider to energy consumption data that is running on a remote server, ESP-32 was employed. The data sent through this GPRS Interface was hosted on hosting platform called 00webhost. The method of weight function-based control was used to determine current imbalances between node at distribution pole and consumer?s smart meter. In order to set threshold watt values for anomalies of energy consumption, consumer consumption behaviour was studied and piloted. This makes this method perform more effectively and accurately with low false-positive rate. If implemented, it would be a potential test case that can reduce energy theft in the country.},
