All I can think is, if you can prove that a public utility is purposely overcharging you, then they will see a humiliating multi-million dollar class-action lawsuit against them.
I'm sure they don't want a lawsuit of this nature, so either they know they can't get caught or only a few guys are in on this. I would be surprised if it would be worth it for a government sanctioned monopoly to cheat its consumers this way rather than just raising rates (that's the beauty of a monopoly).
Not knowing much about the electric company, I can't help you to figure out whether your fears are unfounded, though.
