In 2021, many of these utilities were prevented from dumping nonpaying customers by state-level moratoriums. Most of those prohibitions expired at the end of that year, leading utility cutoffs to jump in several northeastern states. Utilities in Connecticut performed nearly 59,000 cutoffs last year, up from 153 in 2021, while New York cut off 41,000 households last year after zero cutoffs in 2021.
The report notes that Florida, which stopped reporting shut-off data late in 2021, cut off customers' power 557,000 times that year. "[W]hile people may be able to forgo some other types of bills, at least for a month or two, the utility bill is crucial, particularly when you're thinking about having heat in the dead of winter," Liz Powell, the company's director of insights, said in an email.

Corporations are fucking the consumers over every way the can Gas, nat gas , oil ,diesel fuel, electricity, food There is No Reason besides GREED
When the electric Company sits Down and figures out when people use themost power during the day and theu are charging double the usage rate for that said time Yea they are gouging the American people WE CANNOT AFFORD TO LIVE BECAUSE THEY RAISED THE PRICES ON EVERYTHING !!
You can thank our president for that.
Energy companies are constantly raising rates to increase profits while consumers are left without power and heat. Why isn’t the government stepping in to corral the price gouging and the abuse of the American public.
POTUS Biden Superior Elites Administration can put 600 +illegal migrants in USA & foreign countries 1st before American Citizens No more Biden/China Anti American last not first We The American People First LOCK up AMERICA Take CARE of USA FIRST Impeach Joe 1st not last ❤notH8
Simple solution to this. Tax the freaking rich!!!! They are so greedy! How much is enough?
BidenFlation is REAL. Monetary, Energy, and Fiscal policy impacted. Wasting more FED resources won’t help with economic inefficiencies, especially in Sanctuary cities and states.
Keep voting demokkkrat, this is what you get.
This is very, very, VERY wrong.
Not so bad in warmer climes, potentially fatal elsewhere
Can't be. The economy is awesome, the GDP is up, and everyone has awesome paying jobs! Joe said so.
45 utility companies shut off power to millions while they took in $184.8 billion in profits in 2021, a 71% increase from 2020. Better headline
It’ll be cool when everyone has an electric car and no electricity to charge that car to get to work.
Welcome to Biden’s america
But Biden said Americans are doing great. So, I'm confused. Go read his Twitter.
Thanks Biden
CBS is clearly lying… Joe says otherwise…
How about they stop buying the latest cell phones and streaming services
In NY illegal immigrants are DEMANDING they have better housing than a friggin hotel. They’ll probably get it. While hard working Americans are getting their power shut off during the winter months.
Please delete this. President Biden is doing a great job!
Meanwhile all of these jobs are open and no one wants to work. No work, no lights.
Force people onto the dole. Forces them to vote for bigger government so they can survive. How do all you people not know the game played throughout history? You deserve to face the big gov., strong armed, population eliminating government that is just a few years away.
In a meantime … illegal migrants are protesting non satisfactory logging in NY…how fucked up is that?
Elections have consequences
federalreserve needs to reverse inflation of the last 3 years.
Let’s go Brandon!
POTUS
Are you actually criticizing the Biden administration? And you're telling the truth? There has to be an angle here.
This isn't a news article; it's a political manifesto. Also, using some states' numbers to estimate other states doesn't make it a conservative estimate
Thank the democrats, they said their clean energy was sticking money in Americans pockets
Now imagine someone who pays rent, truck payments, child support, food and takes care of a family member and still needs to pay taxes while working almost 6 days a week, while the government helps people who don’t want to work
Well done Joe.
Really don’t get how these people, democrats and republicans can sit back know this shitt is going on and try to do nothing but bicker with each other all F day. They can’t resolve shitt for their own people, but somehow billions are getting sent to Shamkraine…
I just left six items on the store shelves because I could not afford them.
Biden need to executive order a electric companies shut off ban. Done. Problem solved.
Meanwhile Joe funds six billion dollar tunnel replacement.
The EU has just legalized Crickets and meal worms added to food and even beer eatzbugs
Where Biden got his inspiration
This was all done on purpose by democrats! Remember that next time you vote
Wait until they really start pushing green energy how much electric bills are gonna be
It’s 18 degrees here hope they have heat
Biden's Build Back Better America. Oil effects everything in our lives.
I hope none of them have EVs or else they aren’t going to make it to work tomorrow
300,000 without power in Texas again thanks to MEGA REPUBLICANS
But Joe said his plan was working
Biden just tweeted this is the best economy ever. That old pedo lies more than santos
No, let’s not talk about this and keep talking about police brutality 🤡
“Wealthiest country in the world” righties and lefties got us so focused on culture wars that we aren’t focused on things that really matter. People shouldn’t have to choose between a warm home or an empty stomach.
Joe Biden should invite one of the hundreds of millions of Americans who are feeling the squeeze of his disastrous hyper inflationary economic policies to sit in the House gallery and apologize directly to him/her.
It's OK. Inflation is slowing I hear.
Welcome to Biden’s America!
Damn Putin Price Hike, all we can do is hope our leaders send more aid to Ukraine to finally defeat Russia.
