Propuesta de una metodología para la focalización del subsidio eléctrico “Tarifa de la dignidad” a usuarios residenciales de las Empresas Eléctricas del Ecuador

Abstract

This work includes a proposal for targeting the dignity tariff subsidy on residential users of electric power distribution companies in Ecuador. For targeting, the grouping data technique is used based on the technical, geographical, and socioeconomic characteristics of the users.

This work describes the process necessary to collect, refine, and process the data for targeting the subsidy. Then, this work shows the process to match the data and consolidate it into a single

database of residential users. In a next phase, this work defines a poverty equation that considers, in a weighted way, the technical and socioeconomic characteristics of the users and that equation allows calculating the poverty level of the users. Then, the way to group users according to their poverty level is described, as well as the way to establish the best number of groups to be generated among users. Finally, the titling work propose a general metodology for targeting the dignity tariff subsidy in Ecuador. Some results of targeting applied in the Quito District Metropolitan are showed in the titling work.
