Ok you actually made me curious so I threw in a quick search, turns out they aren't opposed to technology or electricity per se at all, it's a much more philosophical stance about being connected to / dependant on the outside world. And it's indeed different for every community/parish to what degree it is allowed, some more conservative groups still don't use it all.

Now please don't ask me how they rationalise buying generators and fuel as not being dependant on the outside world, because I don't have the slightest clue.
