I think the situation here is something that's good for a specific user but bad for the wider community.
It seems like the perfect case for an authority to step in.
Think about what the rationale for having a common utility even is: a group pools its resources so everyone can have a better power system (more reliable, cheaper) than each could have running their own. Obviously, for that to work though, there has to be a way to prevent individuals from abusing the system.
I agree it shouldn't matter what anyone's opinion of the use is, but that doesn't appear to be what's happening here.
