I’ve never been sure about how electricity meters work – can anyone explain please?
If they accurately measure power: ‘worked out’ by ‘knowing’ both current and voltage, I agree that messing with the voltage does nothing.
But maybe some types measure ONLY current (via some kind of CT arrangement) then do the ‘calculation’ assuming a nominal fixed voltage at 230/400 regardless of what the true value really is.
If the latter I assume increasing the voltage in some way (and hence reducing the current for a given load) would ‘cheat’ the meter.
you could try disconnecting one of the cables that your customers not using n see if any neighbourds lose power
