National Grid Pauses Power Cuts in Heatwaves

National Grid is launching a bold summer safety measure: they’ll pause electricity disconnections for residential customers during extreme heatwaves—when temps hit 90°F or higher—and for two days after the heat breaks. This statewide policy covers major cities including Albany, Buffalo, Syracuse, and Rochester, prioritizing safety over bills during dangerous heat spells. The company emphasizes this is a last-resort measure and will work with customers to resolve payment issues first. If you’re in one of these areas, you’re covered—staying cool is now a guaranteed priority. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
