Theft Association. This regional group 4️⃣ was founded in 1987 as Western States Energy
Theft Association (WSETA) with the intent to bring utility companies together from 4️⃣ the

Association. Our mission is to 4️⃣ identify measures to protect our companies from revenue
losses associated with unauthorized use of service.Each year, WSUTA hosts a conference
