The Green Party conference has voted in favour of a motion opposing nationalisation of “the five largest energy supply companies”

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 schemesOk. I’m confused. So which was the final position? It sounds like they retained
The five largest energy supply companies will be nationalised.
The key difference in the above statement is that transmission and distribution will be nationalised, but not all generation.
