Utah just saw energy shutoffs to prevent wildfires — are more coming this season?

Utah recently experienced its first energy shutoffs in years to mitigate wildfire risks, with Rocky Mountain Power cutting service to over 7,700 customers as a precaution. This move highlights the growing concern over wildfire seasons in the state, where dry conditions and high winds make such measures necessary. While it's uncertain if more shutoffs will occur this season, the action underscores the urgent need to balance energy needs with public safety, especially in areas vulnerable to wildfires.
