Strange that the ACT doesn't run under the same umbrella as NSW, I guess it just wanted to be different again. At least Victoria has a significant amount of its own power generation so being separate makes a little more sense - while the ACT does have a reasonable amount of solar power (solar farms as well as rooftop) it's still dependent on the NSW grid for supply.
