Electricity distribution companies are the most recognized part of the power sector for the society
Much of the good news, as well as the problems, even if they are not directly related to the segment, end up affecting distribution companies. They are also known in the electricity sector jargon as the “cashier of the sector” since they collect a large portion of the charges as well as the most of the system’s resources.
Distribution is not only important for the present of the power sector but also for the future. Technological decentralization with DERs and consumer empowerment rely on the distribution system, and the role of the utilities should evolve towards providing services and operating the system, functioning as a mini regional operator, internationally known as a Distribution System Operator (DSO).
