Yes, i'm only referring to the HV transmission grid over large areas, even nations, including inter-market trading. the distribution grid is likely best managed by local nimble entities who are not competing.

As J pointed out before, it was the incompetence, not the government or the system, hindered by the quarterly profit motive.

I'm all in favour of competition, provided it includes competition on quality, and not just cost.
