At least 20 million American households, or one out of every six homes, are behind on their electricity bills as skyrocketing energy prices persist across the nation, according to Bloomberg.
The energy crisis is causing record numbers of late utility payments among low-income households, resulting in billions of dollars in overdue utility bills, Bloomberg reported, citing data from the National Energy Assistance Directors Association (NEADA). NEADA says this is the worst crisis that the association has ever documented and as a result, some power companies are shutting off customers’ power meaning that many low-income households will lose access to electricity amid rampant heatwaves.
