This work shows the impact of electricity regulation inside the context of distributed generation in Latin American and Caribbean countries through the analysis of the current regulation and the projects registered in each of the countries. Information was collected about the updated regulation in each country and the distributed generation projects derived from said regulation. Based on this information, the percentage of the potential capacity of the distributed generation projects was identified with respect to the total installed power within each country, obtaining in this way the results that allow to make a comparison between the countries of the region regarding the impact of the regulatory framework of distributed generation.
