regulated:

* k+ E- [, @8 \6 S4 e这两个都可以浮动，也可以固定。貌似没有大的区别。
不过regulated 提到了 energy retailer 也说可以remain regulated rate(浮动）， 而de-regualted是选择plan， 感觉这个分类搞得怪怪的，还是我没有看完，没有看到点子上，理解有问题，越发糊涂了。。。

) G9 e9 v$ D; y: L好，大致上
Regulated = 管制。 也就是说，所有价格是经过某一机构审核后批准涨幅、跌幅价格。
以天然气为例

Prior to 1985, the price of natural gas was set by agreements between the federal government and the Province of Alberta. With the signing of the Natural Gas Markets and Pricing Agreement on October 31st, 1985, otherwise known as the “Halloween Agreement”, natural gas prices are now determined by the competitive forces of supply and demand.
) t: P" L* Z/ m目前亚省天然气是经过 (Alberta Utilities Commission) AUC 批准的。

de-regulated 是指不需要经过审核的价格。 这个就是所谓目前几家公司向个人签署的天然气或电源供应，以合约价格订下一定的时间长短。 由于个别公司提供的产品有异，一些合约价格可以随着市场价格涨跌。
