How are homes and workplaces connected with different energy supplies from different providers?

I’m not sure about the rest of the world, but here in australia the distributor and the retailer are seperate.
The distrobutor owns maintains poles and wires and some generation. The retailer pays them to support their customer.
I doesnt make sense to run multiple poles and wires so they are shared.
As others have said a bucket with holes is a great analogy, retailer chooses and pays the water mix that goes into the bucket. Of they use 10L they must pay to put 10L in. The crazy thing is you generally have a fixed tarif, but here the NEM (national energy market) has spot prices down to the small time increments.
