Electricity bill will have readjustment until the 20th; Aneel works to reduce as much as possible the increase in the energy bill for consumers

Consumers in Mato Grosso, Mato Grosso do Sul and São Paulo had their electricity bill maintained until the 20th; when should there be a new readjustment

With the economic crisis getting worse, what people least want to hear about is the increase in energy. 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 the electricity bill. Some distributors may increase the energy bill by up to 27%.

• Angra 1 and 2 nuclear power plants and Itaipu hydroelectric plant will have reduced tariffs and Brazilians' electricity bill will be cheaper in 2021
• Through Aneel, new readjustments of energy distribution tariffs are in progress
• Cars and vehicle parts traded between Brazil and Paraguay will be more accessible
• Bolsonaro sanctions provisional measure in the electricity sector that could reduce tariffs
• Aneel authorizes new wind and solar energy projects in the northeast

Aneel extends current electricity bill tariff

Aneel announced yesterday that the following concessionaires had the current electricity bill tariff 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 around 4 million units in São Paulo.

Why did Aneel decide to extend the current tariff?

The management of the municipality decided to extend the take to prevent people from paying an increase much greater than inflation. The Extended National Consumer Price Index (IPCA-15), shows in a preview released last month that the increase in the period is 5,57%. André Pepitone, director general of Aneel, said that new rules are being adopted so that all readjustments do not exceed 1 digit. He highlighted that they are working hard to avoid escalating the account increase: “to contain this tariff escalation, and for this to be possible we needed a few days so that we could work on the calculations".

On its official website, Aneel reported that it is working to avoid an unrestrained increase in the electricity bill rate: "The crisis generated by the pandemic led to strong pressure on energy tariffs. For this reason, ANEEL has been intensively studying alternatives to combat the effect of the pandemic on the tariffs paid by electricity consumers."

One of the ways that is being used to avoid a huge increase in the electricity bill is the refund of amounts charged in recent years by PIS/PASEP and CONFINS. These values ​​are greater than 50 billion reais. Aneel itself said in February that one of the ways to return the amounts to consumers was to deduct that amount from future readjustments. Several other actions to try to avoid the giant increase in the electricity bill can be seen in the website from Aneel.
