There is no such thing as a completely free market, if there was one it would be total hell.
In America the government has a large say in the electricity energy market, regulating power suppliers and prices. Some countries have even nationalized oil, I remember when I was in Egypt and all the cab drivers were complaining about gas prices (wanting me to pay more) when gas went up to around 50 cents a gallon.
