What does Engancharse mean?

1 published definition

Engancharse

To illegally tap into the electrical grid to get power for free, typically by hiring an informal technician known as a pega luz to bypass the meter or hook wires directly to the line. (In the Dominican Republic, this practice is often a response to high utility costs and frequent blackouts.)

-Juan, can you Engancharse for me? A person cannot keep paying for expensive electricity when they do not provide any service anyway.
