Summary

Under self-regulation, the public service provider regulates its own activities, sets tariffs and performance standards, and monitors performance. The utility is typically accountable to a third party, such as a board of directors (as for many public utilities in the United States, where the municipality—for example, the city of San Francisco—is providing the service) or a monitoring body, such as a city council (with or without a formal contract).

Summary

Under the hybrid model, regulation by contract is combined with supervision by an independent regulator. Typically, tariffs agreed upon by the parties to the contract need to be approved by the regulator. This combined approach has been used for public utilities (as in Colombia and Kenya) and private WSPs (as in Colombia and Niger).
