On 23 May, the Procon - SP Foundation , an organization linked to the Department of Justice and Consumer Citizenship , together with the Front for the Defence of Consumers Energy , filed an administrative appeal ( see here) in the National Electricity Agency ( Aneel ) requesting the suspension of Normative Resolution No. 610/2014 regulating the procedure for pre - payment and post- payment electronic electricity. The goal is to prevent the implantation of the new collection system that leverages the consumer's vulnerability to allow automatic disconnection of service , descaracterizando its essentiality and allowing marketing practices that may generate abusividades in the consumer market , when consumers adhere to such payment.
The Front Power argues that the pilot project authorized by Aneel occurred in four isolated communities in Maués -AM , these localities not integrated with production and electrical transmission system in the country and therefore do not reflect the Brazilian reality in the provision of services of electricity . Moreover, no study regulatory and social impact that demonstrated the feasibility of the system in the whole country has been done.
It is also troubling that the Resolution No. 610/2014 does not observe the standard Organizational ANEEL 40/2013 , which establishes the obligation of conducting Regulatory Impact Analysis ( RIA) , indispensable tool for examination and evaluation of the likely benefits , costs and effects new or amended regulations .
Another problem is the resolution on the ability to generate differentiated treatment to consumers , and open space to potential abusive practices by power utilities , since it can deploy new payment system in the localities of their choice without predefined criteria . The Head of Energy supports the need to establish goals and predefined criteria prior to the implementation of the new system occurs.
The Front for the Defense of the Consumer Energy was created in March 2011 , made by Procon - SP Foundation , Idec , Protest and the National Federation of Engineers ( FNE ) , aiming to identify the problems of the sector and contribute more efficiently the regulatory , supervisory and legislative framework processes in order to improve the consumer market .
