Yes probably shut off eventually, but consumers have some additional protections in place currently.

New temporary rule, applies to everyone: no attempts to collect outstanding energy debt will happen until after March 2023.

Annual winter moratorium, applies to everyone: no utilities will be shut off for nonpayment between Nov 1 and April 15.

Year-round, for certain groups: no utilities will be shut off for nonpayment if you are a household with an infant, a seriously ill or disabled person, or elderly person.

Temporary rule, for certain groups: forgiveness program for energy debt accrued before March 2022.

Here's more info on all that and more: https://mlpb.health/digital-digest/ri/utilities-internet/
