The National Energy Agency (ANEEL) announces the new edition of the "Por Dentro da Conta de Energia" booklet updated with the new rules of the 3rd cycle of periodic rate revisions approved at the public meeting of 11/08 and 09 by the executive board of the Agency. The booklet aims to explain how energy rates are composed in Brazil.

The publication is available with 20 questions and answers about the operation of the electricity sector, the role of ANEEL and the differences in rates between the states. The booklet also tells you what is built into the energy cost that reaches the homes, which ones are taxes, charges and fees and what the existing rate updating processes (adjustments and revisions) are like. The publication also explains how consumers can participate in the process of revisioning the rates and what can be done to reduce them.

The brochure is another initiative of the Agency to strengthen the transparency of its activities and fulfill its role of informing consumers, businesses and society at large what the role of the regulating body should be like for the electricity services to be offered at fair rates, quality and safety.
