Abstract
Many industrialized countries are still developing their capacity to administer regulatory systems. Many developing countries in Africa, Latin America and the rapidly industrializing Asia, moreover, increasingly face issues of regulatory capacity, especially in relation to a relatively “weak” institutional environment. Building regulatory capacity is a challenge that should be always taken into consideration when reforming the regulation of infrastructure and utilities. The chapter concludes with a discussion of the regulation of district heating in Germany in the 2010s.
