What Happens If You Can’t Pay Your Electricity Bill? By Julianne Geiger - Apr 01, 2020, 5:00 PM CDT Join Our Community Electricity With over 3 million Americans losing their jobs, and many more forced into lockdown, utilities are facing lower demand and more consumers that can’t afford to pay the bills At a time when over 3 million Americans have already lost their jobs, and as many as 47 million may be added to the unemployment roster, all that virus-forced staying at home will increase energy bills for people with limited means of paying them--at least until unemployment benefits and the stimulus checks come in.
Until then, a number of states are moving to ensure that basic utilities aren’t shut off due to non-payment in this time of crisis--but not everyone’s on board, and the picture gets exponentially more complicated for the utilities that could face bankruptcy as a result.
The Energy Cost of Being Unemployed
Overall, energy consumption is expected to fall, with electricity demand during the week looking more like weekend demand, according to Genscape analyst Adam Jordan, who spoke to Bloomberg. Bars, restaurants, industry, and commercial businesses are closing up shop, denting power demand.
But this has also resulted in millions of workers throughout America being sent home. Some have been sent home to work from their couch in the comfort of their pyjamas. Others have simply been sent home.
Either way, residential electricity usage (as well as water consumption) is likely to increase. Between Zoom and Netflix, laptops, phones, and lights--even extra freezers to keep all that hoarded food--residential electricity consumption is set to increase.
This will result in higher bills for the average consumer. But do you have to pay it now? The answer to that depends on where you live.

Well, in my experience, the house gets dark and quiet.
Don’t know if they are doing anything special these days.
Probably, with emergency orders in place, the powers that be will forbid utiities from disconnecting for non payment.
Send a letter to Generac.
there’s a fund already set up by the fearpers.....I hear they’re donating hundreds of billions of dollars to stay safe......
I doubt anyone is getting shut off for a couple of months.
Your cable company? They will be standing by your house waiting for the clock to chime, and then they will cut your cord.
I was told they were not cutting off the electricity here in Memphis. Gave it a test and got a cut off notice, so I paid the bill.
Yet we know the moment Trump opens things up even a little the MSM going to say he picked money over the health and safety of the American people.
You apply for public assistance.
You vote Democrat, of course, silly!
And like everything else, they will be proven wrong.
No problem! Congress just passed a bill repealing the laws of physics. No funding required.
This is a breakthrough piece of legislation, spearheaded by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
Rest assured that the government will take care of everything for you.
They plan to tackle the law of gravity before the general election.
Another question might be, “What happens, if you can’t pay your medical bills?”
Yes but he will have to have his bases covered. As soon as a new case pops up in a opened area it will be a Drudge siren and above the fold NYT.
This is the socialist revolution.
No way is it going to get better until everything is nationalized.
Pay electricity for the kids . . . or . . . monthly IPhone.
Pay electricity for the refrigerator . . . or . . . 500 channel cable.
Pay electricity for lights . . . or . . . Neimann Card.
It’s really not that hard once you prioritize.
The Democrats will help you to some more of my money.
