ESFI 2008 Utility Copper Theft Baseline Survey Power Lines ESFI has released the results of its 2008 Copper Theft Baseline Survey of Utilities, an innovative new instrument developed to measure the frequency and impact of copper wire theft and how it is being addressed by major utility stakeholders across the country. ESFI worked closely with the Edison Electrical Institute, the National Rural Electrical Cooperative Association, and the American Public Power Association to create and administer a confidential survey that would extract detailed information from shareholders and community-owned utility members about their first-hand experience with this growing problem.
