Not really, its how you stop paying entirely arbitrary prices for a monopoly.

Also what you're suggesting is illegal in some areas, and that's without true public utilities.

I agree that the grid should be a public utility, it's just that the energy production makes some sense to be privatized (and have some pressure to use the public grid) because distributed supply (rooftop solar) allows for lower losses and with regulation changes could allow for less overprovisioned residential lines (have lower amperage service rates to incentivize people with solar to flatten their net power usage) and for car parking lots to have solar shading.
