There have been a few large scale tank owners that have had police at door for high electrical bills.
One guy I met (runs a dozen halides) had told me that the narc unit stated some grow ops will use large reef tanks as a cover for power consumption

I am not sure if its just Ontario, but its 100% illegal for a power company to give the police data on power consumption. The police must have reasonable cause to get a search warrant which gives them access to the hydro data.
