The Reduction Of Energy Tariffs Approved By Aneel Provides For The Reimbursement Of Taxes Paid In Excess By Consumers In The Past

On last Tuesday (the 12th), a decrease of up to 5.26% in the energy tariffs for ten Brazilian distributors, located in different regions of the country, was approved by the National Electric Energy Agency (Aneel).

The reduction of tariffs was carried out to provide for the reimbursement of taxes paid in excess by energy consumers in the past. The reimbursement was mandated by law, approved and sanctioned in June, as an attempt by lawmakers and the government to mitigate the impacts caused by increases in the electricity bill during an election year.

This same law, which authorized the reimbursement of the taxes, also obliged Aneel to establish discounts on the annual tariff adjustments of energy distributors, starting from June of this year, and to conduct an extraordinary review if they had already undergone the adjustment process in 2022.

Four More Distributors Were Supposed To Go Through The Tariff Review But Were Excluded From The Process

Another four electric utility distributors were also supposed to reduce their tariffs last Tuesday; however, their processes were removed from the agenda.

This occurred because Light, a utility operating in Rio de Janeiro, and Equatorial Alagoas obtained court orders that interrupted the revisions. Aneel intends to change these decisions.

On the other hand, the processes of Energisa Mato Grosso and Energisa Mato Grosso do Sul were postponed, as the tax credits have not yet been approved by the Federal Revenue Service.

Enel Rio Appeals Against The Reduction Of Its Energy Tariff

As previously mentioned, Aneel approved an average reduction of 4.22% in the energy tariff charged to Enel Rio consumers last Tuesday. However, the distributor requested that the process be removed from the agenda. Enel argued that the revision would harm the company’s revenue, making the economic-financial sustainability of the utility more difficult.

Aneel’s directors, however, did not heed the company’s request, justifying that the reimbursement of taxes paid in excess by consumers is mandated by law, and that the agency is only responsible for calculating the percentages.

China has been trying for 13 years to build a railway in the Gobi Desert to reach Mongolia, and there are still 20 kilometers left that no one can finish due to a problem that seems impossible to solve.

At just 14 years old, a boy creates a system without energy, using steel pipes buried in the ground, that irrigates seedlings with moisture from the air, to combat the water scarcity threatening reforestation in northern China.

Where there was only sand and wind at 40 degrees, China built a megacity of 500,000 inhabitants with farms, wineries, and universities in the middle of the desert using melted glacier water from hundreds of kilometers away.

For 45 years, Spain and Morocco have been trying to connect Europe to Africa through a project of just 14 kilometers in the Strait of Gibraltar, and an active tectonic fault on the seabed continues to make the project nearly impossible.

Without bricks, without cement, and without endless construction: the cardboard house that is assembled in modules and can be moved.

Government unlocks R$ 554 million for a highway that has been requested for decades and accelerates the duplication of BR.

Tire road? Thousands of shredded tires were secretly placed under a ramp in California, preventing a one-year delay in a project on weak soil and supporting a 26-foot-high structure in a corridor connected to I-880.

For years, no one could cross a neighborhood in Tokyo because of the tracks, but an impressive solution changed mobility and completely transformed the local routine.

Oil surged to $115 a barrel due to the war in the Middle East, and diesel in Brazil has already risen to R$ 7.45 per liter, while the United States…

Weighing almost 1 ton, with temperatures of up to 3,000°C, the ability to launch 10,000 fragments within a radius of 1 km, capable of penetrating concrete and melting steel, Turkey’s terrifying bomb emerges as one of the most destructive non-nuclear weapons ever presented.

With 15 floors, an unusual building in Curitiba uses concrete, pilasters, and exposed roofs to create the effect of stacked houses.

Archaeologists opened a secret chamber that had been sealed by sand for 40,000 years inside a cave in Gibraltar and found what may be the last place where Neanderthals lived before disappearing from Europe forever.
