contents We consider the unit speed parametrization of the horocycle flow on infinite Abelian covers of compact surfaces of negative curvature. We prove an asymptotic result for the ergodic integrals of sufficiently regular functions. In the case of constant curvature, where the unit speed and the uniformly contracting parametrizations of horocycles coincide, we recover a result by Ledrappier and Sarig. Our method, which does not use symbolic dynamics, is based on a general Fourier decomposition for Abelian covers and on the study of spectral theory of weighted (and twisted) transfer operators for the geodesic flow acting on appropriate anisotropic Banach spaces. Finally, as a byproduct result, we obtain a power deviation estimate for the horocycle ergodic averages on compact surfaces, without requiring any pinching condition as in previous results.
