The board of the National Agency of Electrical Energy (ANEEL) has approved a public hearing to gather information about subsidies and the regulation of procedures for pre-payment and post-electronic payment of electricity. The theme will be sitting on 28/06 25/09.
According to the draft resolution proposed at the hearing, the implementation of these modalities is a faculty membership of the distributor and the consumer will be voluntary and free of charge. The return to the previous mode may be requested at any time, the request must be served within 30 days. Consumers who join the pre-payment will receive an initial credit of 5 kWh and may, if you have some debt to the distributor, have their debt installments and deducted when purchasing credits, limited to a maximum percentage of 10% of the purchase. Moreover, when there is depletion of credits and the temporary inability to acquire them, the consumer may request the distributor an emergency credit, which should be available any day of week and time.
