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/
