No one should lose power during a #HeatWave 😤🥵 These Oregon rules temporarily protect people from shutoffs & help qualified folks get reconnected w/o paying fees during #ExtremeHeat. These rules are only temporary, but allies like @oregoncub.bsky.social are working to make them permanent.

If an extreme heat warning, watch, or advisory is issued, PGE, Pacific Power and Idaho Power can’t shut off your power for nonpayment, and you’re protected until 48 hours after it ends.

If you have a medical certificate or you’re on a bill discount program and were disconnected in the last 7 days, call PGE, PP, or IP to be reconnected at no upfront cost to you.

If your power was shut off up to 72 hours before a heat watch, you can also be reconnected without paying reconnection fees.
