The companies Cemig Geração e Transmissão S/A (Cemig-GT), Evrecy Participações Ltda., Companhia Hidro Elétrica do São Francisco (CHESF) and Furnas Centrais Elétricas S/A have been authorized to reinforce their transmission facilities. To make the improvements, the four transmitters together will invest R$76 million. The decision was made at the last meeting of ANEEL’s executive board (06/21).
 
Cemig-GT was authorized to make reinforcements in five substations. The improvements include the installation of a capacitor bank in substation Neves. To pay for this investment, the transmitter will be entitled to installments of the Allowed Annual Revenue (RAP) at the amount of R$3.25 million.

Another two companies were authorized to implement reinforcements. Evrecy will be required to regulate the connection of the transmission line Governador Valadares 2 – Aimorés to substation Conselheiro Pena. For that, it will be entitled to the RAP at the amount of R$2.54 million. Furnas may install a protection system in substation Rio Verde. After the entry into commercial operation of this reinforcement, the transmitter will be entitled to the RAP at the amount of R$102.600. The deadlines for entry into operation of these improvements are 24 and 18 months, respectively.

The amounts corresponding to the companies’ new RAP are considered as from the entry into commercial operation of the reinforcements, based on the useful life of the equipment. The RAP is set by the Agency to remunerate the concessionaires’ investments in electricity transmission facilities. This revenue also covers operating and maintenance costs borne by these companies for these projects. (DB/GL)
