The Board of Directors of the Brazilian Electricity Regulatory Agency (Agência Nacional de Energia Elétrica – ANEEL) approved today (10/09), during a public meeting, the final index of the third periodic tariff review for DME Distribuição de Energia S.A (DMED), which serves 66,171 consumer units in Poços de Caldas (MG). Residential and low income consumers will have a readjustment of 17.02%. Check out the main indexes:
| Company | Consumption class – Captive consumers | |
|
Low voltage E.g.: residential |
High voltage E.g.: industries |
|
| DME Distribuição de Energia S.A (DMED) | 17.02% | 17.82% |
The average effect of the Tariff Review to be perceived by all consumers is 18.34%. The positive index is due to the company’s increased Regulatory Remuneration Rate due to the change in their status as local authority to a public company. The concessionaire succeeded the extinct Department of Municipal Electricity of Poço de Caldas, a local authority, as of March 2010. Also during the meeting the limits of the indicators *DEC and *FEC for the period 2013 to 2016 were defined.
Due to the discussions concerning the methodology for the 3rd Periodic Tariff Review Cycle, there was no time to perform the RTP for DMED on the date specified in the concession agreement (10/23/2011). For this reason, the rates were extended, as determined in Resolution # 471/2011. Read more about the extension of the tariffs.
The effect of tariff revision for the concessionaire’s consumers will take place on the same date of the next annual adjustment, i.e., the rate will result from the effects of the two calculations. The distributor's readjustment tariff will be defined on 10/23/2012. The simultaneous application of the tariff review and adjustment will be done as follows: the revision will be calculated having as reference its original date. The extra amount paid by the consumers, during the term of the provisional fare, will be deducted in the final calculation of the adjustment. Thus, from the date of the adjustment, the consumer will already pay a corrected value in relation the value paid during the provisional rate.
The Periodic Tariff Review process aims to analyze, after a period previously established in the concession contract (usually four years), the economic and financial balance of the concession.
* Average Interruption Duration Per Consumer – DEC –Average time Interval which, during the period of observation, a consumer unit in a given group of households had electricity discontinued. Refer to Module I of Prodist.
**Average Interruption Frequency per Consumer – FEC – Number of interruptions occurred, on average, during the period of observation, in each consumer unit of a given group.
