The board of directors of the Brazilian Electricity Regulatory Agency (ANEEL) [Agência Nacional de Energia Elétrica] approved in a public meeting held this past Tuesday (27/11) a public hearing to define the annual quota for the Energetic Development Account for 2013. The proposal by the technical area of the Agency is for the setting of the quota at R$ 1.024 billion.

The Agency's proposal represents a reduction of 73% from the value paid in 2012. This reduction will have repercussions on consumer tariffs from the accomplishment of extraordinary revisions of the energy distribution scheduled for February 5, 2013 and determined by Provisional Measure No. 579/2012. According to this measure, a new methodology for defining the CDE for 2013 involves the difference between the estimates of revenue (including any balances) and estimated expenditure account.
Below is the proposal for the allocation of quota per subsystem:
