Benchmarking Analysis of the Electricity Distribution Sector in the Latin American and Caribbean Region
Benchmarking the electricity
distribution segment in the Latin American and Caribbean
Region (LCR) is a means of providing countries and utilities
with a point of reference regarding their performance. The
objective of this report is to fill in the knowledge gaps
that exist regarding the status of electricity distribution
by benchmarking utility performance at the regional,
country, and utility level. This report serves as a standard
reference for and defines good and poor electricity
distribution performance in Latin America and the Caribbean.
Considering the changes that have shaped the power sector
during the last decade, this benchmarking report provides
country and utility level direction and a framework of
comparison for identifying where they stand in relation to
the others, detecting their strengths and weaknesses, and
setting goals for improvement. The purpose of benchmarking
the power sector is to provide a detailed description of the
electricity distribution segment in the LCR and to identify
and rank the best performers in the region. This report is
designed to be solely factual, aimed at describing
electricity distribution performance at the regional,
country, and utility levels and does not assume, at this
stage, an analytical or explanatory role. Additionally, this
study will contribute towards a more consistent benchmarking
analysis in the electricity distribution segment and serves
as a path-breaker for other regional benchmarking
initiatives. This benchmarking initiative contributes
primarily with the collection and analysis of detailed data
for 26 countries and 250 utilities that represent 88 percent
of the electricity connections in the LCR.
