The board of the National Energy Agency (ANEEL) decided on Tuesday (08/02) to maintain current rates of Centrais Elétricas do Pará(CELPA) until the publication of the definitive methodology of the third round of rate revisions. Celpa serves 1.7 million customers located in 143 municipalities of Pará. The company's rate revision was scheduled for August 7. 

The interim procedure for the treatment of rates for electricity distributors that will undergo periodic rate revision this year was approved in April in a public meeting of the board. The model was adopted in the revisions of the Companhia Energética do Ceará (Coelce) and Eletropaulo Metropolitana Eletricidade de São Paulo S/A. 

After defining the methodology of the third round of rate revisions, the distributors who had the presence of their rates extended will have 28 days to submit the initial information needed to calculate the rate revision, except those relating to the Regulatory Remuneration Base*, which remain following Resolution no. 342/2008. 

The new resolution also determines the retroactive application of new contract values ​​at the date of the rate revisions. The change in revenue resulting from the difference between the rates applied in the interim period of validity of the rate revision and approval as defined in the final results will be calculated and compensated. (FA/GL)
