This sounds like nonsense to me, unless there is some really strange legislation that I'm unaware of. Monitoring power consumption is done by almost every government with the capability to do so, but normally it is only investigated if they believe you are involved in drugs or weaponizing something that shouldn't be.
This is done not because they want to limit the power consumption so all people obey the law, no. This is because they are corrupted people and want to steal bussiness. The point is in this: just imagine Somali and pirates. And in my post I was talking about eastern Europe, not Europe. These are two different worlds. Eastern Europe is poor and very corrupted.
I read about it in this article:
