 UNITARY COSTS OF SERVICE PROVISION

• Regardless of whether a user can be physically located in the

vicinity of a reservoir or a generation plant, the user faces the
same costs as another of the same socioeconomic conditions,
located anywhere in the same system, at the same level of tension
and serviced by the same energy marketer.

• Reviewing the concepts and calculation formulas The Unitary Cost

of Service Provision (CU) is an efficient economic cost that results
from adding the costs of the generation, transmission, distribution,
marketing and other costs related to the operation and
administration of the national interconnected system.
