COVID-19 in Missouri: panel rejects utility shutoff moratorium

Updated: 1:41 PM CST December 17, 2020 JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. The Missouri Public Service Commission turned down a request that sought a moratorium on utility shutoffs due to the COVID-19 pandemic, saying it has no authority to grant such an order. The Consumers Council of Missouri filed a request for the emergency order that would have prohibited disconnection or discontinuation of residential electric, natural gas and water service through at least March 31. The commission said in a statement released Wednesday that while it shares its concern for the well-being of utility customers and all Missouri citizens during the pandemic, it lacks authority from the Legislature to issue a shutoff moratorium.
