I used to work for the National Grid, originally part of nationalised
electricity generation and supply industry.  National Grid ran the
electricity distribution part of the grid: the substations, overhead
lines and towers - never call them pylons.  In the rail companies, there
was Railtrack which ran the railway infrastructure.  In 2001 it ran into
financial difficulties and was replaced by a government-owned company.

There's a National Grid in the US which supplies electricity. No idea if it's related.

In sweden the politicians privatized electric grid companies. I think the result in Stockholm can be left as an exercise for the reader (I don't know about the results in other parts of the country).
