  • Abstract
    The risk of applying price cap regulation on distribution systems where the institutional and industrial structure is still weak is discussed. It has been found that there is a huge impact on end user´s tariffs for a tariff-setting period after increases from 9% to 16.04% on discount rates used to calculate the rate base on Colombian Discos are introduced.
