SAO PAULO - The ARSESP (Regulatory Agency for Energy and Sanitation of the State of São Paulo) will put in place a new compensation mechanism for the balance of the graphic that is passed on to gas prices.
According to the Agency in Sao Paulo, accounting for differences between the actual paid by the utility in the purchase and transportation of gas, and amounts authorized in rates is made by means of a graphic account. The balance of this account is transferred to the tariff - which can increase or decrease.
With this change, the consumer is to have access to changes in the moment in which they occur. Therefore, the agency explains that you can prevent the suffering rate increases too high, due to the annual accumulation, without resorting to constant changes in rates.
So far, the transfer only occurs annually. Thus, the adjustment or tariff revision generated dramatic changes in the rate of accumulation of the balance due.

Also according to the Agency, the relevant part of the fare paid by consumers is composed of gas prices and transportation paid by the distributor Petrobras. According to the Agency, these prices, however, are not fixed, varying according to its offer in the international market and the exchange rate between real and U.S. dollar.
In other states, the transfer is done automatically, resulting in constant changes in the rates charged by concessionaires.
Every month, the ARSESP publish on its Web site graphic account balance, which allows consumers to track when and how much the rate can be increased or decreased as the variation of the balance of this account.
