In a public hearing to discuss proposed (PDC 10/11) that the effects of negative Susta of the National Agency of Electrical Energy (ANEEL) to reimburse consumers who paid higher fares for energy calculation error, the Director General of ANEEL Nelson Hübner explained that the agency has tried to resolve the issue with the company without success.
According to Hübner, Aneel acted as identified in the contract concluded with the distribution companies, a methodology that generated the most revenue. "But it is obvious that the companies had their positions and refused to even talk about changing the contract," the president said Aneel, in a hearing in the Commission on Consumer Protection. He said the main reason of the companies was that they did not create rules that were in effect.
The PDC 10/11 obliges electric utilities to return about R$ 7 billion improperly charged consumers in bills between 2002 and 2009. This value was calculated by the Parliamentary Investigation Commission (CPI) Rates of Energy from an audit of the Court of Audit (TCU).

One of the authors of the PDC 10/11, Rep. Eduardo da Fonte (PP-PE), asked about the Brazilian people. He said if it were otherwise, the user would have paid. "Unfortunately, they cling to this question of breach of contract, but if there was one breach of contract against consumers from all over Brazil," he said. Mr Weliton Prado (PT-MG) is also author of the proposal.
Justice
The prosecutor in Porto Alegre Alexandre Amaral Gavronski said that the matter should be subject to judicial question, and already there is action in every region of the country "The Federal Prosecutor has to worry about the success of judicial inquiry," he said.
For the director of Special Programs Foundation Procon-SP, Andrea Sanchez, the consumer loses with the legalization of the question, because justice is very slow.
The debate on Wednesday was suggested by the Rapporteur of the PDC 10/11, Mr Chico Lopes (PCdoB-CE), which showed its assent to the refund of the amount improperly charged.
