Consumers From Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso Do Sul, and São Paulo Had Electricity Bill Rates Maintained Until The 20th; When There Should Be Another Adjustment

As the economic crisis worsens, the last thing people want to hear about is a rise in energy costs. The National Electric Energy Agency (Aneel) wants to decide by April 20 the rules that will be applied in an attempt to reduce the percentage increase in electricity bills. Some distributors may increase the energy bill by up to 27%.

Aneel Extends Current Electricity Bill Rate

Aneel announced yesterday that the following utilities had their current electricity bill rate extended: Energisa Mato Grosso, Energisa Mato Grosso Do Sul, and CPFL Paulista. Energisa Mato Grosso serves a total of 1.5 million consumer units, Energisa Mato Grosso do Sul serves 1 million units, while CPFL Paulista serves about 4 million units in São Paulo.

Why Did Aneel Decide to Extend The Current Rate?

The agency’s management decided to extend the measure to prevent people from facing a much larger increase than inflation. The National Consumer Price Index (IPCA-15) indicates in a previous report released last month that the increase during the period is 5.57%. André Pepitone, Aneel’s director general, stated that new rules are being established to ensure that all adjustments do not exceed single-digit figures. He emphasized that they are working hard to prevent the escalation of bill increases: “In order to contain this tariff escalation, we needed a few days to work on the calculations”.

On its official website, Aneel reported that it is working to prevent an uncontrolled increase in electricity bill rates: ”The crisis caused by the pandemic has exerted strong pressure on energy rates. For this reason, ANEEL has been intensively studying alternatives to mitigate the pandemic’s effects on electricity rates paid by consumers.”

One way being used to prevent a massive electricity bill increase is the refund of amounts overcharged in recent years for PIS/PASEP and CONFINS. These amounts are higher than 50 billion reais. Aneel itself stated in February that one method of reimbursing consumers would be to deduct this amount from future adjustments. Several other actions to prevent a huge increase in electricity bills can be seen on the Aneel website.
