Il existe deux catégories dominantes de contrats : les contrats de remboursement des coûts (cost plus) et à prix fixes ou plafonnés (price cap). Ces contrats à prix fixes ont un fort pouvoir incitatif mais un coût élevé pour le régulateur qui doit abandonner à l'opérateur une partie du fruit de ses efforts, tandis que les contrats cost plus ont un pouvoir incitatif plus faible mais un coût moindre pour la tutelle. 1, record 1, French, - contrat%20de%20remboursement%20des%20co%C3%BBts
