Default Service upgrade without telling the power company

My next door neighbor had an electrician upgrade his panel to 200 A without
1) a permit, and 2) telling the power company.

I'm curious how that was accomplished, or at least I'm wondering what the
power company is going to say when the values on his meter changes
overnight, not to mention his meter won't have a seal on it either.


Unless they put in a new meter, unlikely since meters come from the
power company, the readings won't change.

A permit is the problem of the local town authority, so they may have a
problem, but not the power company.

In summary, as long as the same meter is used, the power company won't
know/care.
