Requires power companies to publicly share data about their planned power shutoffs.
The problem
Power companies shut off electricity to prevent fires, but people don't know enough about when, where, or why these happen. Better information helps communities prepare.
The proposal
The bill requires power companies to give the public detailed data and information about planned power shutoffs, including timing, affected areas, and reasons for the action.
The impact
Residents, businesses, and emergency responders gain advance warning of power shutoffs. Power companies must collect and share more information about their operations.
People can plan ahead for shutoffs by charging devices, buying supplies, or making arrangements. Hospitals and critical services can prepare backup power. Communities become more resilient.
Public data allows communities to evaluate whether shutoffs are necessary and fairly applied. Transparency can reduce mistrust between utilities and customers. It encourages companies to improve their fire prevention methods.
Emergency responders and local governments can coordinate better responses. Businesses can decide whether to stay open or close during shutoffs. Schools and services can adjust schedules.
Vulnerable populations like elderly or disabled people can get help in advance. Hospitals can ensure backup systems work. Communities can prepare medical needs beforehand.
Power companies must invest in systems to collect, organize, and share detailed data. Smaller utilities may face bigger expenses relative to their size. These costs might be passed to customers through higher bills.
Detailed shutoff data might reveal which areas have power vulnerabilities. Bad actors could use information about timing and affected regions. Privacy of customer information must be carefully protected.
Different power companies have different systems and data methods. Creating uniform data standards takes time and coordination. Rules for what data to share must be carefully designed.
Even with warning, some people cannot easily prepare for shutoffs, especially low-income households. Data sharing alone doesn't solve the underlying fire risk. It doesn't address the core issue of aging electrical infrastructure.

Money from people who work there, not from the company. Not tied to this bill.
Itemized individual contributions via FEC, grouped by the employer each contributor self-reported. Companies and unions cannot contribute to federal candidates from their treasuries, so these totals are money from people who work at an employer — never from the organization itself. They are campaign contributions covering a full election cycle and are not connected to this bill.
