In Australia, and I assume the Netherlands, the transmission network is separately owned and run by government corporations. While multiple private companies are allowed to generate power and sell to customers on the government owned grid.

Interesting, I've never heard of this before but I suspect you're right. Was it always this way in Australia? I can't for the life of me figure out how America could be convinced to make its way towards this, but this sort of arrangement seems like a pretty ideal middle-ground.
