Rate regulation

Rate regulation is a framework for establishing the prices that can be charged to customers for goods and services.

This framework is subject to oversight and/or approval by a rate regulator.

For example, many governments regulate the supply and pricing of particular types of activity by private entities, including utilities such as gas, electricity and water.
