How would you call a law which forces a utility to not sign long term contracts on the purchase of energy, but fixes the price that the energy can be sold? Is this de-regulation or regulation?
I Personally call that REGULATION. And a stupid one at that. In NY, we had deregulation. You are charged a fixed price for transportation and then floating charge for energy.
