SOME ALTERNATIVE APPROACHES TO UTILITY REGULATION

Stephen Littlechild

Economic Affairs, 2008, vol. 28, issue 3, 32-37

Abstract: Is it inevitable that monopoly networks should continue to be regulated in their present form? Such regulation has limitations as well as advantages. In some countries, negotiated settlements between utilities and users including customer groups provide greater flexibility and innovation and better representation of consumer interests. There is scope for applying such alternative institutional arrangements in the UK.
