3 MULTIDIMENSIONALITY OF OUTPUTS IS AN ISSUE FOR REGULATORS Regulators generally find it easier to regulate price than quality. Price has the greatest advantage a ag of being (in certain markets at least) both one-dimensional and objectively measurable. Quality, on the other hand, is hard to pin down. It has many dimensions, some of which typically rest upon subjective evaluations by the consumer. R. Baldwin and M. Cave, Understanding Regulation, 1999 Autorità per l'energia elettrica e il gas 3

6 CONDITIONS FOR SUCCESSFUL SERVICE REGULATION Preliminary requirement: quality data measurement Regulatory instruments must be fair and simple to implement Adjust regulatory schemes to account for specific industrial and institutional factors of the country Quality regulation greatly benefits from a gradual approach to the implementation process Quality regulation is never a permanent solution: periodic evaluation and revision i An open dialogue across all interested parties is a fundamental part of an efficient regulation Autorità per l'energia elettrica e il gas 6

7 THE NEED FOR HIGH LEVEL COMMITTMENT Liberalisation is often opposed on the grounds that it could damage public service and weaken national industry. We have taken quality of service as one of the main targets of regulatory action, the aim being to demonstrate that liberalisation plus regulation will produce better quality than did the previous regime. Pippo Ranci, former AEEG President [P. Ranci, Regulating Energy in Italy, in: C. Henry et al. (editors), Regulation of network Utilities. The European Experience, Oxford University Press, 2001, p ] Autorità per l'energia elettrica e il gas 7
