Abstract :
This paper presents a complete overview of a practical process to estimate regulated distribution-companies (DISCOS) revenues. An international benchmarking method is used to compare the performance of three DISCOS to the performance of a set of utilities that have been selected as a reference. Advantages and disadvantages of the applied method are shown.
