In 2011, the collection of financial compensation for the use of water resources (CFURH) to generate electricity to cities, states and the Union, including royalties (financial compensation payable by the Itaipu Dam) was BRL 2.005 billion. Of this total, BRL 1.635 billion were distributed by way of CFURH and BRL 370.1 million in royalties.
In December, the value of compensation reached BRL 172.7 million. The funds this month were distributed to 686 municipalities in 21 states, the Federal District and the Union, of which BRL 139.1 million for Compensation for Use of Water Resources. The transfer of royalties was of BRL 33.5 million to 342 municipalities in five states, the Federal District and the Union.
The values were collected from 92 paying companies, which accounted for 174 hydroelectric plants and 184 reservoirs. Data collection is included in the report available on the Agency's Internet.
Municipalities are left with 45% of revenue, while 45% go to other states. The money can be applied to health, education and security programs, but cannot be used to shoot down debt, unless the creditor is the Union, or for the payment of staff.
The Union receives the remaining 10%, which are distributed among the National Water Agency (ANA), the National Fund for Scientific and Technological Development (FNDCT) and ministries of Environment, Water Resources and Legal Amazon (MMA) and Mines and Energy (MME).
The collection and distribution of royalties and compensation are the responsibility of the National Energy Agency (ANEEL).
