Abstract

[eng] Ex-post aspects of rate-of-return regulation are contrasted with ex-ante features of price-cap regulation. Although the latter offers fairness advantages, by simulating its effects in earlier years, price-cap regulation is shown able to place risk on public utility investors. This risk may be moderated through agreed upon contingent contracts, which take the form of consumer-investor sharing arragements. Such arrangements are described and discussed. [fre] Les aspects ex-post de la réglementation du taux de rendement sont mis en contraste avec les caractéristiques de la réglementation price-cap. Bien que cette dernière offre les avantages de l'équité, en simulant les effets des premières années, la réglementation price-cap se révèle capable d'imposer plus de risque sur les investisseurs des réseaux publics. Ce risque peut être atténué par des contrats d'ententes éventuelles, prenant la forme d'accords de partage du risque entre consommateurs et investisseurs. De tels accords sont présentés et discutés.
