The concessionaire responsible for power distribution of energy to 704,292 consumer units in the state of Amazonas, arose from the merger of Companhia Energética do Amazonas (Ceam) by the former Manaus Energia S/A (
The proposed average preliminary effect for the consumers of Adesa is 8.03%. The distributor’s tariff review will be in public hearing from next Thursday (08/20) to September 22nd.
The average percentage for the tariffs of Adesa mainly reflects the definition of the efficient level for the cost of the energy distribution service and the estimated impact of Provisional Measure No. 466/2009 on energy expenditure. The final indexes will come into force on November 1st, 2009.
The documents related to the proposals will be available on the profile “A Aneel”, at the link Audiências/Consultas/Fórum/Audiência Ano2009 at the electronic address www.aneel.gov.br. The written contributions to the process can be sent starting next Thursday, July 8th to the e-mail address ap028_2009@aneel.gov.br, by fax at (61) 2192.8839 or by mail at the address SGAN, Quadra 603, Módulo I, Térreo, Protocolo Geral da Aneel, CEP 70.830-030, Brasília-DF.
Present-body hearing – To collect live contributions from consumers, resident associations, class companies and associations and all other interested parties, Aneel will hold the public hearing on July 10th in the city of Teresina (PI) about the Cepisa Tariff Review. The meeting location and time will be disclosed at a later date.
The tariff review is foreseen in the concession contracts with the purpose of obtaining the balance of tariffs based on the remuneration of the companies’ investments aimed towards distribution service rendering and expense coverage effectively recognized by Aneel. It is applied to the distribution leasers every four years, on average.
The second cycle of the tariff review started in 2007 and 43 distributors have already had their results of the second tariff review approved in the first two years. In 2009, the second cycle ends with the carrying out of the process for 18 distributors.
Continuity Indicators – For the second cycle of the tariff review, Aneel will also put in a public hearing, along with the preliminary tariff index, the goals for the next four years (2010 to 2013) for the continuity indicators that measure the duration (DEC) and frequency (FEC) of interruptions in the electricity supply which take place in the sets of consumer units served by the company.
The DEC indicates the average time that the consumer units went without energy and the FEC indicates the average number of times interruptions in the supply for these units took place. Besides the group indicators, the distribution leasers’ service is evaluated by individual indicators known as DIC (Individual Interruption Duration per Consumer Unit) and FIC (Individual Interruption Frequency per Consumer Unit), which measure, respectively, the duration and frequency of the interruptions in the energy supply to each consumer unit.
