Iowa State University has it's own power plant. Surprised that isn't more common.

  University of Cincinnati, Michigan State, lots of large universities have that.

    Seemed like it should be fairly common. Saw in a different comment that maybe there is some issue with being able to switch over to only being powered by that plant. Seems odd though, since one of the things I thought was always touted about our municipal power plant growing up was that they could power the town if external power got cut off (But didn't normally because our generators were more expensive to run)

      It's a law in California. One that I am sure PG&E lobbied for.
