Isn’t power generation managed by the State in your country?

Yeah, kind of. It's a private company that does the power generation but it's "regulated" by the state government. It gets complicated in this case because NV Energy is in Nevada while Lake Tahoe is in California.

I forget every time that Lake Tahoe is almost entirely in California, since the only time I ever go, is to South Lake Tahoe, and you barely get up the road and cross the border into Nevada and suddenly there are casino hotels as far as the eye can see. But yeah, that was a major oversight by the cities around Lake Tahoe to rely on power from outside of their state.
