    Streszczenie
    An electricity theft is a problem for distribution system operators (DSOs) in Poland. DSOs use many ways to limit
    this unfavourable phenomenon. Within this paper, the author presents a new method to detect the location of illegal power
    consumption. The method bases on the processing of data from an advanced metering infrastructure (AMI). The method is
    based on the observation that some consumers illegally consume energy mainly in the winter season and that the level of illegal
    energy consumption may depend on the level of energy consumption. The method searches for periods of temporary reduction
    of the balance difference and a simultaneous decrease in energy consumption by one of the consumers.
