Seems like they aren't actually "rationing power", they're just delaying new hookups until the grid has enough capacity to handle higher load.
I wonder what the issue is. Is it production, or distribution? If it's production, there's no excuse for that, build nuclear. If it's distribution, is it due to environmental concerns, or NIMBYs?
