economies of scale - decreasing average costs of production with an increase in scale of operations
economic profit - the difference between total revenue and economic costs
revenue - the income a firm receives from the sale of its goods in a given period of time

The big six energy companies in the UK collude together, restricting market competition. Since 2019 prices for energy on variable rate tariffs are capped to protect consumers, especially those on low incomes.
- As a result, 11 million people saved an average of £76 per year.
- Typical energy usage should cost no more than £1.137 per year.

Quality control
Train companies and airlines have performance targets to restrict the amount and length of delays that affect consumers. Train companies are forced to pay compensation if the train is delayed by 30 minutes and airlines are forced to pay compensation if flights are delayed and passengers arrive 2 hours later than scheduled.

Windfall taxes
In 2007 a windfall tax on oil in Alaska was imposed. The state's total oil revenue exceeded $10 billion in 2008, which was spent on other forms of regulations or public services.

Merger policy
In 2019, the EU Competition Commission blocked a proposed merger between train manufacturers Alstom of France and Siemens of Germany given serious competition concerns against the public interest and higher prices expected for both signals and trains that firms produce.]]> 2023-10-10 13:54:52 UTC https://padlet.com/mr_eeeee/vzaulrypvvrplkrk/wish/2740004499 https://padlet.com/mr_eeeee/vzaulrypvvrplkrk/wish/2740007373 2023-10-10 13:56:24 UTC https://padlet.com/mr_eeeee/vzaulrypvvrplkrk/wish/2740007373 https://padlet.com/mr_eeeee/vzaulrypvvrplkrk/wish/2740009634 2023-10-10 13:57:26 UTC https://padlet.com/mr_eeeee/vzaulrypvvrplkrk/wish/2740009634 https://padlet.com/mr_eeeee/vzaulrypvvrplkrk/wish/2740009955 2023-10-10 13:57:36 UTC https://padlet.com/mr_eeeee/vzaulrypvvrplkrk/wish/2740009955
