    The motion called for the deletion of a previous commitment that:

    The five largest energy supply companies will be nationalised.

    Instead, it called for the insertion of:

    As natural monopolies with, at present, high profit margins, electricity national transmission and regional distribution will be brought into public ownership.

    And it wanted to insert a position that “electricity generation and storage” are not natural monopolies and should therefore:

    have diversity of ownership including private, public, municipal and community schemes

      Ok. I’m confused. So which was the final position? It sounds like they retained

      The five largest energy supply companies will be nationalised.
