I have often debated if this is one of the stupidest things they have thought of. Traditionally most utilities can offer the share holder in the range of 5 to ten percent rate of return on their assets. To sell this off I fear might be unwise. I also am trying to keep in mind they have a great amount of old infrastructure that will cost a great deal to upgrade. I think though they should be able to achieve these upgrades and still maintain a minimum of 3 percent return. This day and age I do think that is a bad investment especially knowing this rate once updates are done could increase greatly.
