Just as increased constraints from regulation drive compensation down for executives in electric utilities, deregulation has been shown to increase remuneration. These companies have more political constraints than those in a favorable regulatory environment and are less likely to have a positive response to requests for rate increases. The compensation for electric utility executives will be the lowest in regulated utilities that have an unfavorable regulatory environment. They are less likely to approve compensation policies that include incentive-based pay. Executives in regulated electric utilities are less likely to be paid for their performance in bonuses or stock options. Regulated companies are less likely to use incentive-based remuneration in addition to base salaries. Just as regulated utilities and their governing bodies struggle to maintain a balance between keeping consumer costs reasonable and being profitable enough to attract investors, they must also compete with private companies for talented executives and then be able to retain those executives. The executive compensation received by the executives in utility companies often receives the most scrutiny in the review of operating expenses.
