WASHINGTON, DC \u2013 Los senadores estadounidenses de Oreg\u00f3n, Jeff Merkley y Ron Wyden, junto con seis de sus colegas del Senado, presentaron hoy una resoluci\u00f3n del Congreso instando a los estados y a las empresas de servicios p\u00fablicos a emitir una moratoria sobre las desconexiones de los servicios de gas y electricidad, los cargos por pagos atrasados, los cargos por reconexi\u00f3n y los aumentos de tarifas. y otras sanciones para todos los consumidores como resultado de la emergencia nacional en curso causada por la pandemia de COVID-19.<\/p>\n

Aunque varias empresas de servicios p\u00fablicos en Oreg\u00f3n se han comprometido voluntariamente a proteger el acceso a los servicios p\u00fablicos de sus comunidades, muchos estados, incluido Oreg\u00f3n, no han utilizado su autoridad para regular las tarifas de electricidad y gas para ordenar a todos los servicios p\u00fablicos que tomen esta acci\u00f3n vital.<\/p>\n

\n

"Lo \u00faltimo que alguien en Oreg\u00f3n necesita mientras lidiamos con las consecuencias econ\u00f3micas de esta crisis de salud p\u00fablica es la p\u00e9rdida de servicios p\u00fablicos esenciales como la electricidad y el gas". dijo Merkley<\/b>. \u201cLos habitantes de Oregon (y los estadounidenses de todo el pa\u00eds) merecen saber que, a medida que superemos esta tormenta juntos, seguir\u00e1n teniendo acceso a estos servicios cr\u00edticos. Mi esperanza es que cada estado tome las medidas descritas en esta resoluci\u00f3n para garantizar que todas las familias tengan esa seguridad y tranquilidad durante este momento dif\u00edcil\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cLas familias de Oregon est\u00e1n pasando apuros despu\u00e9s de haber sido golpeadas por una bola de demolici\u00f3n econ\u00f3mica en las \u00faltimas semanas. No necesitan el estr\u00e9s adicional de quedarse sin electricidad, pagar recargos inasequibles por pagos atrasados o aumentos en las facturas de servicios p\u00fablicos mientras enfrentan esta crisis de salud p\u00fablica\u201d. wyden dijo<\/b>. "Es imprescindible asegurarse de que los habitantes de Oreg\u00f3n tengan acceso a estos servicios cr\u00edticos". <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Con miles de estadounidenses perdiendo sus empleos cada d\u00eda y peque\u00f1as empresas en dificultades, muchas familias estadounidenses enfrentar\u00e1n un d\u00e9ficit dif\u00edcil cuando llegue el momento de pagar sus pr\u00f3ximas facturas de servicios p\u00fablicos. La pandemia de coronavirus, en la que muchas familias se ponen en cuarentena dentro de sus hogares, seguramente amplificar\u00e1 las consecuencias de los cortes de servicios p\u00fablicos.<\/p>\n

Espec\u00edficamente, la resoluci\u00f3n insta a los estados y a las empresas de gas y electricidad a tomar medidas para garantizar que:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. No se da por terminado ning\u00fan servicio de electricidad o gas natural a un consumidor;<\/li>\n
  2. Se hacen esfuerzos razonables para reconectar de manera segura a los consumidores de electricidad y gas natural que han perdido el servicio;<\/li>\n
  3. Ning\u00fan consumidor de electricidad o gas natural paga por los servicios de reconexi\u00f3n;<\/li>\n
  4. Los consumidores de electricidad y gas natural no cobran cargos por pagos atrasados ni otras sanciones; y<\/li>\n
  5. No se instituyen aumentos en el costo del servicio para los consumidores de electricidad y gas natural.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Anteriormente, Merkley y sus copresidentes del Caucus Senatorial de Justicia Ambiental encabezaron un grupo de senadores en presionando al l\u00edder de la mayor\u00eda del Senado, Mitch McConnell, y al l\u00edder de la minor\u00eda, Chuck Schumer, para que incluyan protecciones para los estadounidenses contra cortes de servicios p\u00fablicos en el tercer paquete de ayuda por coronavirus.<\/a>. Su llamado se hizo eco de las preocupaciones de m\u00e1s de 575 organizaciones en todo Estados Unidos, incluidas la NAACP, el Movimiento Sunrise, el Centro para la Diversidad Biol\u00f3gica, la Asociaci\u00f3n para la Equidad del Sur y el Sierra Club, citando la importancia de tener acceso a los servicios p\u00fablicos durante pandemias y desastres clim\u00e1ticos.<\/p>\n

    A Merkley y Wyden se unieron para presentar la legislaci\u00f3n los senadores Edward J. Markey (D-MA), Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Richard Blumenthal (D-CT), Kamala Harris (D-CA), Kirsten Gillibrand (D- Nueva York) y Chris Van Hollen (D-MD).<\/p>\n
