Note: The tables embedded below, which EPI is updating on a rolling basis, are *not* exhaustive, particularly for smaller utilities, municipal utilities, and cooperatives.

We are also crowd-sourcing updates via the survey linked from the top of the page. EPI reached out on Friday, March 13, to about two dozen large utility companies directly to ask whether they would be suspending disconnections. The Energy and Policy Institute (EPI) is collecting data based on published reports and verified statements from utilities about which utilities are suspending disconnections, and which public utility commissions or other governmental bodies are ordering suspensions. Many utilities that sell electricity and gas around the United States are suspending disconnections of customers who do not pay their bills during the coronavirus crisis, or are being ordered to suspend disconnections by regulators or other government officials. The following table details the binding moratorium end dates, as of August 28.Д®PI thanks E9 Insights and the Center for Biological Diversity for their work creating state trackers, which have more information, and can be found here and here.Д¬ontent below was last updated on April 27, 5:00 pm, PT The survey found that people of color, low-income customers, and households with children and the elderly are more likely to face a disconnection by their utility. That stands in stark contrast to Pacific Power in Oregon, for example, whose spokesperson told the Energy and Policy Institute that it will not be disconnecting customers for the вЂњforeseeable future.вЂќДЄ recent survey by researchers at Indiana University found that вЂњ22 percent of respondents had to reduce or forgo basic household needs, like medicine or food, to pay an energy billвЂќ in the early months of the COVID-19 crisis. In Missouri, Liberty Utilities resumed sending disconnection notices on July 16. The utilityвЂ™s announcement occurred as the state is reporting a surge in cases since late April. For instance, Oklahoma Gas & Electric announced that it is about to resume disconnecting customers. According to a July analysis by the Center for Biological Diversity, less than half of all states currently have mandatory shutoff moratoria in place, and only a few states will have a mandatory moratorium in place by September 1.ДЄlso, some utilities in states without binding moratoriums which made voluntary suspension policies are announcing their intention to resume cutting off peopleвЂ™s power due to non-payment. But states across the country with binding moratoriums on disconnecting utility service to customers have allowed these policies to lapse.

Johns Hopkins reported at least 45,966 new cases in the U.S.
