The accounting procedures for the transfer of public lighting assets recorded in the *Fixed Asset under Service of the concessionaires for the City Public Power will be discussed in open hearing. The decision was made during a public meeting of the board last Tuesday (11). These procedures will have no impact on municipalities as they set the accounting rules to be followed by distribution to municipalities by transferring responsibility by public lighting.
According to the proposal, public lighting assets should be measured primarily based on the book values recorded in the distributor by municipality of the concession area. If there is no record of assets by municipality, points for the amount of lighting billed monthly from the municipal government or district may be used as reference, based on their commercial or operational georeferenced technical systems. In addition, the proposal provides that the distributor keeps available, for inspection by ANEEL, the documents that make up each process of transferring public lighting assets by municipality in the concession area.
The assets correspond to light poles, bulbs and structure used to provide the public lighting service. Currently, the deadline set in Resolution No. 414/2010 for the transfer of public lighting assets to municipalities is suspended. As the mayors pointed out difficulties to assume the maintenance of public lighting infrastructure, the matter was also placed in open hearing. Read More.
