Conduit is commonly conductive. And where conductive should be grounded.

Having the conduit itself be a power transmitting medium would be dangerous as people could touch the live circuit and injure themselves. But you could insulate the conduit making it safe, and essentially turning the conduit/wire inside into a coaxial "cable"...... this would have interesting implications for signal transmission.
