Fonte: ANEELThe Brazilian Electricity Regulatory Agency (Aneel) ended today (08/04), in Brasília (DF), the contribution phase for the public hearing for the second periodic tariff review of CEB Distribuição S/A, started this past July 3rd.
The hearing counted on the presence of 88 participants, among which were representatives from unions, from the National Association of Electricity Consumers (Anace), from the Brazilian Association of Electricity Distributors (Abradee), from the Brazilian Association of Large Industrial Consumers of Energy and Free Consumers (Abrace) and consumers.
The average preliminary review index was -5.18% (negative). After the analysis of the contributions sent in writing and collected during the hearing, Aneel will define CEB’s final index, which will go in effect this coming August 26th. The distributor serves approximately 753 thousand consumer units in the Distrito Federal.
The tariff reduction proposed is resulting of the company’s greater productivity and of the lower average capital cost (which defines the distribution leasers’ remuneration). The technical note with the review proposal for CEB is available on the link “A Aneel/Audiências/Consultas/Fórum” at Aneel’s electronic address (www.aneel.gov.br).
The tariff review is foreseen in the concession contracts to obtain 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. More information about the review can be obtained at the link “InformaçõesTécnicas/Tarifas-Consumidores Finais/Revisão Tarifária Periódica” on the Agency’s internet page (www.aneel.gov.br).
