Correction: It definitely could. The power companies sometimes miss disconnecting service, either by accident, incompetence, or laziness. For example, my company moved into a building a few years ago, and two years later during an inspection the power company realised of our three meters, one of the meters had fallen off their books and we were getting free power. So had the company before us I later learned. The service simply may have never been disconnected even though it was no longer being paid for.
