The UKRPA

New Website and New Initiative

The United Kingdom Revenue Protection Association or UKRPA has operated with the utility industries and their clients for over 5 years to help fight fraud, endeavouring to make the cost of providing utilities fair for everyone. This work has been, largely, undertaken in the background, without the general awareness of the public.

With this website we hope to promote understanding of the effects and dangers involved in energy theft and meter tampering.We hope that the public will use the site as a resource of information regarding the problem. The site also serves as a facility to help us in our work by giving the industries involved a forum of shared knowledge, improving the ways that we tackle the problems of catching the perpetrators of theft, while protecting the public and safeguarding the revenue of the utilities.

If you would like more information regarding the UKRPA please feel free to email us.

Conference 2008

The UKRPA Conference 2008 will take place on the 19th and 20th of June. For further details, or to enquire about sponsorship opportunities for this event, please contact The Secretary at  ukrpa@gemserv.com.
