Regulators moved after utilities’ weak plan failed to protect vulnerable residents, especially in areas unprepared for heat. Consumer advocates pushed hard, noting heat kills more than other disasters and that one-size-fits-all rules ignore regional differences. Now, utilities must craft local heat thresholds using health data within six months. While utilities warned of costs, they’ll comply—this change targets payment shutoffs, not outages. Advocates say it’s vital: losing power can trigger eviction, custody battles, and deadly heat exposure. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
