Aneel announces new limits on power outage in urban areas

Fonte: ANEEL

ANEEL approved at the Regular Public Meeting, of December 15^th, the review of Procedimentos de Distribuição de Energia Elétrica no Sistema Elétrico Nacional (Prodist), which regulate the relation between energy distributors and consumers and generators connected to the systems of distribution. The resolution adopted include a table with the new limits on individual indicators of continuity (DIC, FIC and DMIC).Values come into force as of January 1^st, 2010, and the breach of the limits will lead distributors to compensate consumers directly affected by supply interruptions that go beyond the indicators. Compensation shall be made by means of discount on energy bills of the month following the calculation of the indices.

The monthly limits of indicators are reported in the consumer’s energy bill. However, if the consumer wants to check, they will have to consult the new version of PRODIST Module 8, adopted on December 15^th, 2009 (see table below) and the resolution that determines the collective indicators (DEC and FEC) from their distributor to see the correlation between the individual and collective levels. The resolution rates with collective continuity can be found at the Aneel website (www.aneel.gov.br), at the Virtual Library link and then, in the Legislative Research. In this section, ‘Resolution ANEEL (All)’ (in kind of act) should be chosen and the words ‘DEC FEC’ and the name of the distribution in the open field should be written. For further information see Questions and Answers.

Below is the new scorecard.
