The policy costs within standing charegs are regressive and should be transffered to general taxation. In fact I beleive the whiole standing charge cost should be including Network cost and then you may as well while at that being the Networks fully under public control and ownership rather than regualated monoploy business. I would wellcome them becoming dual customer / worker coops with other stakeholder representation. We would thank the present owners for there provision of capital and direction. They could be compenstated for value of companies with bonds that pay out at lower rate than expect return on capital for their lower risk. The risk to public would also be reduced , and along with ability to eirther get great return on asset own in form of profit or oublic vlue meeting poicy goals. Investement could grow that is payed for in direct and indirct returns and wider public good.
