I doubt if it’s electricity. But i remember when I was young our small town had antennas on top of the house which would broadcast few channels. Then came companies providing service of multiple channels and were transmitted via such wires from a base station that they setup. What some people used to do is to use a safety pin as shown above and connect the wire to their antenna receiver. Which used to give them multiple channels without any subscription. But this was easily detectable as the houses that were connected after this would have really bad reception.
