UPAYA PT PLN DALAM MENANGGULANGI PENCURIAN ALIRAN TENAGA LISTRIK DI KOTA MALANG (STUDI DI PT PLN PERSERO KOTA MALANG)

The problem in overcoming the theft of electricity flow is a problem experienced by PT PLN Malang City in preventing electricity theft. This is due to the many acts of theft of electricity among the community, but PT PLN has never brought the problem of electricity theft to legal channels. law enforcement of PT PLN electricity theft uses its own method. This paper raises several problem formulations, namely: (1) What is the legal effort of PT PLN in overcoming the theft of electricity in the city of Malang? (2) Why does PT PLN use non-penal measures in overcoming violations of electricity theft? The writing in this final project uses a type of juridical sociological research. The research is carried out by going directly to the field in order to find out the facts in the field. This paper uses primary data types as the main data types and secondary data as supporting data. From the results of the study, it shows that the efforts made by PT PLN in tackling the theft of electricity flow using non-penal efforts which prioritize prevention without punishment, if anyone is found to have stolen electricity, PT PLN also does not use legal channels but uses the Regulation of the directors of PT PLN NO 88- ZP'DIIV2016 even though PLN could use Law No. 30 of 2009 on electricity. The reason PT PLN uses non-penal measures does not use legal channels because PT PLN wants the losses that have been suffered to return quickly and PT PLN also has its own way of handling and sanctioning electricity theft. From the existing constraints the authors provide suggestions (1) the Malang City PLN further improves performance and is innovative in identifying electricity theft (2) The Malang City PLN party should involve law enforcement so that legal certainty is guaranteed for the perpetrators of electricity thef
