Hamas aren't the government. And all utilities come from Israel.
Hamas does govern the Gaza Strip.

Like a Prison Gang in a Prison
De Facto they are.
Gaza is a de facto open-air prison
Hamas (UK: /hæˈmæs, ˈhæmæs/, US: /hɑːˈmɑːs, ˈhɑːmɑːs/; Arabic: حماس Ḥamās [ħaˈmaːs]),[33] officially the Islamic Resistance Movement (حركة المقاومة الإسلامية Ḥarakah al-Muqāwamah al-ʾIslāmiyyah), is a Sunni Islamist political and militant organization currently governing the Gaza Strip of the Palestinian territories.

Most utilities are ran off their power plant that uses fuel, or they are using generators, pretty sure most Muslim countries in the area have oil... the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood spawned Hamas after all. Maybe they should supply it.
