Competition and the regulated utilities
September 11th, 2008
Thursday 18 September 2008
Our autumn event, hosted by KPMG LLP, will consider competition’s increased role in the regulated utilities, the manner in which competition is being developed in these utilities and the impact these changes may have on utilities and consumers.
We will hear from both regulators and those with experience of working in regulated utilities, which will give us a fascinating insight into the process of developing competition in regulated utilities and the practical consequences of the introduction of competition.
The event will take place at the Radisson Hotel, Meeting room 11 (1st floor), 301 Argyle Street, Glasgow, G2 8DL.
