Abstract	Power theft poses a critical challenge to the development of many nations, particularly impacting densely populated regions like India and hindering equitable access to electricity, which is essential for economic growth. In response, this chapter presents an innovative solution within the context of smart cities: a secure method for electricity distribution utilizing phase modulation for signal encryption. The primary objective is to create a theft-proof system that contributes to the sustainable and efficient supply of electricity within urban environments. Motivated by the significant economic implications of power theft, especially in nations striving for robust economic growth, this study employs Python software to conduct a local simulation of the proposed model, yielding encouraging findings. The success of the simulation has prompted the decision to subject the model to a full-load test in an actual smart city setting. Furthermore, this research integrates blockchain technology into the proposed approach, ensuring transparent and tamper-proof certification of renewable energy sources. By leveraging blockchain, the solution not only addresses power theft but also promotes renewable energy adoption, fostering economic development and ensuring reliable energy access within smart cities. © 2025 selection and editorial matter, Gulshan Sharma, Pitshou N.
