A public utility is no more a public entity anymore than Coca Cola is is public corporation because they sell Coke to the public.

Depends on the public utility, some were privatized and some weren’t. The only reason Enron got pulled down is because the Snohomish County Public Utility District determined actual fraud had occurred and unilaterally broke their contract. Privatized districts up and down the coast were willing to pass their increased rates on to their customers, but Snohomish felt that they had an obligation to their ratepayers and took a stand.
