Why do you think that they've stopped? Last time I checked, government still was in session, and had plans to continue meeting every year, in perpetuity.
They have noted a very substantial increase in power consumption, something which the state, with its history of power generation and transmission difficulties, cannot reasonably expect to be able sit back and allow to go unchecked. They actually determined what the cause of the recent increase was...
televisions -- not receivers, not pool pumps --
televisions... so that's what the regulation was aimed at.
This time.
