They likely will stop using electric utilities. It's just simpler this way, more predictable.
> Do public utilities want that?
Maybe they do; a huge consumer usually negotiates special rates, and may require more costly infrastructure work because the capacity is not sufficient for them.

No, more likely with an egotistic concern for the environment. Billionaires don't have a spare copy of Earth (Mars is even worse), and if you've got billions and can actually move the needle of the climate change to keep Earth in a better shape for you and your children, won't you?
