buffer ponds/flow regulating tanks
Searches lead to Las Fuentes II hydroelectric power plant. The "desregulación" part seems odd, and all from same source.
Definition here:
En la actualidad disponemos de 7 aprovechamientos hidroeléctricos de tipo fluyente en operación y una central hidroeléctrica en Guatemala, en la que construimos una balsa de desregulación, la primera de Centroamérica, que retorna al río el agua turbinada de una forma que no altera su régimen natural

Here it's translated as buffer pond:
To protect the environment, the water is returned to the river through a buffer pond to avoid disruption of the river ecosystem, which is unique in Central America
Movidos por nuestro respeto al medio ambiente, construimos un embalse de desregulación que retorna al río el agua turbinada de una forma que no altera su régimen natural, único en Centroamerica

We take every precaution so as not to perturb the river ecosystems, by building buffer ponds such as the one at the Las Fuentes II hydroelectric power plant (Guatemala), and we safeguard the migratory movements of fish species with fish ladders
All hydroelectric plants are run-of-river and do not have artificial reservoirs. The Las Fuentes II plant in Guatemala has two tanks - or small ponds - to regulate the flow during peak hours but the company has confirmed that these meet
criteria b).

Comment: "Opted for buffer ponds, as there are already "regulator pools/reservoirs". Many thanks!"

raft of deregulation
Without further context, and I know this is a bit of a stretch, I think it is possible that the "balsa" could be a back translation from English (raft, in the sense of a screed or slew of deregulations required for the works in question).
Then again, it could just be a synonym of "embalse", although the 'deregulation' part would seem odd to me in that case. If so, then it might correspond to the "regulating pool/basin" in the Linguee link below.

The more I look at it, the more the "regulating pool" option looks more promising.
