Isn’t their town not incorporated because they wanted to save money on taxes?

Yeah I'm confused here. Seems like the local utility was supposed to have started figuring this by 2015 but they didn't do anything so NV agreed to another 5 years. Then nothing was done so they agreed to 5 more years. Nothing done locally again and now NV are going to oblige with their contract. 17 years is a long time to do nothing then blame the other guy

NV Energy sold its California electric assets to Liberty in 2009 and agreed to keep supplying power temporarily. That arrangement was extended in 2015, again in 2020, and once more in late 2025, and each time because Liberty had not yet secured an independent supply
