That problem should not be solved by regulation alone.

The highly complex emergent whole end-to end system has already been divided into two systems, by restructuring it into a simplified strong regulated service system and a smart open market business system that mutually reinforce each other.

The first system is an integrated (T&D)transportation only utility, that will follow regulation as usual will “have to prove security to get the funds.”

The second system, which owns the meter and becomes a one stop provider to customers, should prove security in the competitive marketplace, under an architecture competition.
