Scotland considers multi-utility regulator

摘要

The Scottish government is considering adopting a multi-utility regulator covering electricity, gas and water if the country's vote next month for independence proves successful, a report by the Expert Commission on Energy Regulation has revealed. In the Main Report, the commission said a multi-utility regulator is an approach adopted by many smaller nations, and "it makes sense in Scotland". It said the model can provide greater consistency of approach as well as achieve synergies where sectors have much in common, such as networks.
