You can (and should honestly, if you're liberal) have privately owned power generation, but the infrastructure and network? Its a bad idea. Private road, private rail, private lines... The same way, you can have water extraction and cleaning privately owned (and some say you should), but its dangerous to let private sector run the water infrastructure.
And also, if any power generation company is caught lobbying against public infrastructure funding or nuclear power plant funding, kill them. force sell or something. You can't have private owners with skin in the game lobbying public spending.
