2001 9-5 charging issue

in the past month or so, I have replaced the battery and the starter on my 2001 9-5 2.4 LPT sedan. 75k miles.
Today brought a whole new round of oddities. AC started to turn off and on. All of the warning lights on the dash came off and on at random intervals. And finally, the car went into what I am guessing to be limp mode. Idled Ok, but no power. Limp mode on my 92 9000T included terrible idle, but I am thinking that perhaps they improved that small detail sometime in the 9 years between models.
Upon checking, voltage across the battery terminals while the car was idling was only 10.9-11.0v, instead of the ~14.0 I expected. The voltage didn't change throughout the RPM range.
Is this a complete alternator replacement, or can I possibly get away with a simple voltage regulator replacement? (much cheaper for reasonable quality OEM replacement)
