Aneel Approves 11.93% Power Tariff Hike for Neoenergia Brasília, Effective Oct. 22

The regulator attributed the adjustment to higher sector levies, rising transmission costs, increased delinquency.

Overview

  • The readjustment lifts average prices 14.47% for high-voltage users such as industries and 11.01% for low-voltage consumers including households.
  • Aneel cited a 27.4% rise in sector charges, a 7.8% increase in transmission costs, and a 15.5% climb in uncollected receivables as the main pressures.
  • The change covers the entire Federal District, where Neoenergia Brasília serves about 1.19 million consumer units across 33 administrative regions.
  • The concession’s electricity consumption corresponds to roughly R$3.57 billion in annual billing, according to data cited by the regulator.
  • Aneel’s board approved the measure via a circuito deliberativo, recording votes without an in-person meeting and releasing the decision after all votes were filed.
