The Board of the National Energy Agency (ANEEL) approves, this Tuesday (11/08), new rules of rate revision for electricity consumer. The decision will be taken in an Extraordinary Public meeting scheduled for 9AM in mini-auditorium of ANEEL, in Brasília (DF). 

The theme went under public hearing (PH No. 040/2010) from 09/10/2010 to 10/20/2010 (first phase) and 03/16/2011 to 06/03/2011 (second phase) and received around 600 contributions forwarded by 155 agents, institutions and consumers. 

The rate revision happens on average every four years and is necessary to maintain economic and financial balance of the distributors that carry the energy to households, commerce and industries. This will be the third time that the revision is applied to rates (3rd Cycle of Periodic Rate Revisions). Previous cycles happened 2003-2006 (1st Cycle) and 2007-2010 (2nd Cycle). The 3rd Cycle will be implemented from 2012 (retroactively to 2011) to 2014. 

The annual revision and readjustment are predicted in concession contracts signed between the Federal Government and companies. In the year that rates of distributors undergo revision, the readjustment is not applied. In 2012, 31 out of 61 distributors with concession contract will undergo rate revision.
