Abstract (EN): Technological developments related to renewable energy led to a decrease on the prices of generation and allowed the penetration of distributed energy resources in power systems. This context, combined with other factors, such as the development of electric vehicles, enabled the rapid evolution of Smart Grids. As a consequence, Distribution System Operators (DSOs) have been investing in this field to keep up with its deployment. This work presents a case study that compares a set of European DSOs regarding their investment in Smart Grid projects. The methodology underlying this study is based on the construction of composite indicators using the Data Envelopment Analysis technique. Furthermore, we evaluate the evolution in the DSOs performance between 2013 and 2017 using a Malmquist index. The results are discussed in the light of their contribution to the definition of public policies in the energy field. © 2021, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
