Think about it though, why would anyone invest here without demanding a significant return?On the upside, it seems several companies are seeking to invest, beyond those that put up the emergency £3bn over which the court case was held.
Some American company is offering a starting bid of £7bn, while others are offering similarly impressive sums, too... so much for being uninvestable.
Perhaps your water will be saved after all?
The bidders are just private equity outfits, they dont do things for free. In the long run this will end up costing customers a lot.
