The right of a utility company to cease providing service to customers is governed by the statutes of the state and the regulations promulgated by that state's public service commission. One place to look is the link below.

As a rule, however, a utility's ability to disconnect during extreme weather situations is going to be limited.

Laws vary by location, but in many places it is illegal for landlords or utility companies to shut off electricity during extreme weather conditions like a heat advisory. This is to protect residents from health and safety risks associated with extreme temperatures. It's best to check the specific regulations in your area.
