How to drill a hole through glass ?

Glass is 7mm thick. Hole needs to be very small ~1-2mm in diameter.
I must not collapse glass, structual integrity must be kept.
I tried using needle and a hammer, but needle keeps on bending. I spent many needles. Can't get the job done. I succeeded in that way to reach depth of 3mm.
Help me resolve this.

They do make them that small, they're typically marketed to jewelers: https://www.amazon.com/Assorted-Diamond-Jewelry-Gemstones-Lapidary/dp/B00BRMPPUA
It's not tempered glass, right?

No, just ordinary glass

I should have mentioned that I don't want to spend any money on buying anything, but do this using only home and garage items. Maybe to spend 10$ max.
The whole point of doing this procedure is to save money by hacking electrical energy counter system, and i must get through the glass first

1 or 2mm isn't going to work. Glass drillbits are usually 5mm+. The risk of cracking the glass is very real, I wouldn't recommend this. See if you can route your wire (?) around the glass through a wall or so. Frankly I'd rethink this.
What are you trying to achieve and what is the situation exactly?

1 or 2mm diamond bits work fine. Of course glass can crack, but drilling small holes into annealed glass is very common and isn't hard.

They will notice the loss vs what is supposed to be consumed on that branch.

Also, please don't try to be a smartass on this thread. I see even mushroom cultivation overlord is here, i mean bro, you could get caught growing mushrooms and selling them, or whatever is your gig, they are ilegal as well.
I don't care about lawful behavior or about getting caught. I will deal with consequences whatever they be. I was being honest, thread is about glass driling, not against any rules. Help me with ideas or don't. Thanks.
That said I'm thinking dentist drill now, for you know, teeth fixing. Maybe I could steal one or borrow from a dentist. Could it be effective against glass ?

Then just smash the glass. Much easier and a rock can be picked up for free.

If you don't care about possible legal issues, have you considered purchasing a replacement wire security seal for the meter? I bet someone has them for sale online that match the ones used by your power provider.
