The tariff review is projected in the contracts and the objective is to obtain economic-financial equilibrium in the concession.It is applied to distribution utilities every four years, on average.

Due to the discussions related to the methodology for the 3^rd Cycle of Periodic Tariff Reviews, there has not been sufficient time to conduct Eletropaulo’s PTR on the date stipulated in the concession contract (7/4/2011). For that reason, the tariffs were extended, as determined by Resolution no. 471/2011. Read more about the tariff extension.
