California, USA, had price controls on power. Might want to net
search. I'm on the other side of the country, but as I
understand, they finally went to rolling blackouts because the
electric usage rose faster than the utilities could produce. And
the utilities were not allowed to build more power plants.
Finally the demand outstripped the supply.

This kept the masses of home owners happy for awhile, but
ultimately devistated the state.
