They were sold off because it wasn't financially viable to update them.
It's also not financially to lend the money needed to build new coal power systems, which is why none of the banks will lend to coal. There isn't a viable business case.
I thought they were sold off so the Gubmint could balance the books (on paper)! The new owners now bleed the end user dry, whilst also getting great wads of taxpayer's dollars.
No way should any nation hand control of it's vital assets, like power, water, and transportation infrastructure, over to a corporation whose sole aim is to increase the value to shareholders.
Anyone who says that privatisation of any asset will lead to lower costs for users, is as stupid as the people who vote for them.
