- Abstract
- Analyzing data from two firms from 1997 to 2008, we see a difference in tariff that is over 35%. This inequality is maximized by regular revisions, especially since 2008. In addition, this difference is explained also by management differences between these firms on investment decisions about operation and maintenance of the electrical system in their area. The reduction of tariff inequality will not be easy, since it is necessary at the same time to allow for an adequate remuneration in the industry, to encourage investment in improving the provision of services and to ensure that such rate is not high enough to harm consumers.
