Here in Massachusetts, they aren't really public service providers , they are more like money making businesses.
Perhaps it's the state & Federal government that's ordering them to spend a certain amount $$ on getting the bill-payers to conserve.?.

Unless, if you live in a low demand area, where there is no danger of a brown-out..

people aren't using enough power.
