Just 21 states track shutoffs. At the height of COVID, 42 states reported utility shutoffs and ALL had some form of moratorium on shutoffs. During this crisis, officials recognized electricity as essential. Since 2024 only 21 states report shutoff data - half the country’s shutoffs are invisible.
Graph showing number of states reporting shutoffs from 2010 to 2024. 2020-2022 is highlighted, showing the COVID Pandemic. The graph shows a steady increase in states reporting shutoffs until their peak from 2020-2022 followed by a dramatic drop in reporting immediately after, nearly to 2010 levels.
