Every private company has the drive to make profit, as yours does or would if you worked for yourself.
Philosophical question time!
Why are profits acceptable when you receive them but not acceptable when you have to pay for them.
If you don't like the price buy elsewhere or find alternates or use less!
Who says you have a right to cheap power?

Yes, good question, while essential services "should" be run for the good of the people by govco, they are extremely inefficient at doing so, the private sector are better. The only exception I take to privatization is where an energy company in SA has "guaranteed profit" built into their agreement which is a license to print money and roger the consumer in one go.
