yeah good point actually. however you need to differentiate between grid operators and electricity suppliers. the grid is often a monopoly, while many electricity producers feed into the grid. so no, in fact, in most places, electricity supply is not a monopoly at all. in most countries, electricity is traded over 100s of kilometers. so even remote generators can produce electricity and feed it into your city.
