Resumen:
This research, part of a broader study, presents a compilation of various calculation methods used for establishing the electricity consumption in public lighting installations that lack energy meters. This situation, supposedly due to economic reasons, is common among Latin American countries. Information of public domain available in 8 countries has been compared, and as a conclusion, we can highlight the diversity of criteria used, as well as the dispersion of results obtained when applying either method, which shows that the accuracy of this electricity consumption is questionable
