When the company is a utility with a built in monopoly, with legal access to shared resources like land for transmission cables, and is the easiest path to executing policy as important as decarbonization?
Yes, if it helps the implementation of the policy.
Our entire power system lacks proper carbon taxation. So I won't cry over minor things like power companies making a bit less money when the effect is a major avenue to mitigating carbon emissions.
Arguably incenting the grid to switch over from coal/natural gas to wind/solar/storage is more important, but lets try multiple approaches and not stop what is working.
