>Investors, but also the government in allowing these companies to siphon electricity away passing the increased cost to the consumers

Not arbitrarily banning companies from buying a product from a supplier doesn't meet my definition of the term "subsidy".

Fair enough, but it sure meets the definition of 'helpful intervention'.

    I don't see how. Anyone can buy electricity without any intervention from the government. An intervention is an action that changes what would happen by default.
