    • 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.

      That answer is unfortunately wrong.

        I am having this issue too. It only seems to affect apartments and it is tied to the prank calls added to the game with Eco, not to NAPs or not paying the bills. You get a call claiming the Landgraab power company is going to shut off your power due to squirrels. If you click the wrong option your power is turned off. It is supposed to last 48 hours, but the power never comes back on. If you exit the game and come back in, the power is restored, but only temporarily. If your Sims leave the lot and come back, the power is gone again.

        I have even tried moving my Sims out, bulldozing the apartment and restoring it with a save from the gallery, but the power is gone when they move back in.

        This is still happening. I got the squirrel message and now my sims lose power off and on. Especially if one of them leaves the lot. The power seems to come and go at random. I will look for a pattern. 

        Changing out my mailbox seems to be working for the moment. I was also getting last exceptions from MC Command Center each time I loaded the lot. That has stopped since changing out the mailbox.
