RINGFENCING
Ringfencing occurs when a regulated public utility business financially separates itself from a parent company that engages in non-regulated business to protect consumers of essential services such as power, water and basic telecommunications from financial instability or bankruptcy in the parent company resulting from losses in their open market activities. This also keeps customer information within the public utility business private from the for-profit efforts of the parent company's other business.
