Brasilia - The Brazilian Electricity Regulatory Agency (ANEEL) today approved at a special meeting, an index of 1.54% for the tariff revision of Companhia Energetica de Brasilia (CEB), which provides electricity to 882,000 consumer units of the Federal District .
The increase becomes effective on August 26, but may be changed next year, after the inspection of Aneel, because the agency found an error in the base pay of the company, which should be corrected.
Also approved were the annual adjustments to distributors Companhia Energetica do Maranhao (CEMAR) and Energy Company of Piauí (Cepisa), worth from 28 August.
For Cemar, which serves approximately 1.9 million consumer units, the approved increase is 1% for residential customers and 4.87% for the industries.
Already Cepisa of residential consumers have increased 5.63% and 7.69% for industrial. The Cepisa has about 1 million consumer units.
The review and adjustment are two ways to update the rates charged by a distributor. The revision is made, on average, every four years and aims to readjust prices according to efficiency gains and productivity of distributors in the period. The annual adjustment has another calculation methodology and takes into account inflation and changes in costs that the company had.
