My guesses:
1) It's much cheaper to buy a generator than a windmill or solar, short term anyway. And most businesses like the short term.
2) This decision was probably made when gas was much cheaper
3) They have a more direct link to the gas supply, so they get a better price. They may even be improving their price discount by using a higher volume.
