Just keep in mind that:
If you use a growth rate in the use of energy at 2.9% per annum (which is what it has grown at for the last 350 years), in just another 275 years time, you'd need to cover every square inch of the Earth's landmass with solar panels to produce enough energy to meet demands.
At that growth rate, we'd actually need to capture the entire power output of the sun in just 1,400 years!!

The utility companies are getting smarter about this.
They can check the total utilisation for an area and see that it reconciles with the sum of the bills of the meters in the area.
Where it doesn't match (or get close), they go looking for the "leak".
I believe that power, gas and water utilities are all doing this (or wanting too).
Doesn't mean that finding the "leak" is any easier but at least they know they are looking for something.
