    • After enforcing regulations with the Landgraab Power Company, power on a Sim's lot will no longer be unexpectedly shut off when bills are paid in full.

    Fixed in Patch 1.106.148/1.91

This most definitely is an issue/bug I got a call from the Landgraabs that my power would be shut off (and that they hope I'm ready) and  it never came back on. When I leave my lot or exit the game then come back, it gets restored, but will soon turn right back off. Rinse, repeat.  No CC installed and there are no N.A.P's that  have been voted for that affect power.

Here's the screenshot of what it says when I hover over a light.

@BadArkane 

This is the result of a power saving NAP being in effect in your neighborhood. Invest in windmills/solar panels or repeal the NAP.

    @jpkarlsen I have the same issue. I got the squirrel message and I keep having power out issues for days without leaving my game to temporarily repair. I checked the NAP plans and none impact power. I also have solar panels. My power still gets shut off.

    Anyone find a permanent fix for this problem?

      There are two different issues in this thread. I answered the one involving a NAP. Your issue is different read suggestions in this thread on how to possibly solve your issue. I suggest you start with the posting made by simvasion.

        My solution remained to load a previous save of my game. Nothing else worked.
        Fortunately in the last few months, I haven't had that stupid call again, but I will definitely try staying in the lot if it happens.
        My problem was that on that occasion, my Sim was at work selling books in her bookstore.
        This somehow caused the bug.
