Aneel Approves 13.6% Power Tariff Hike for Equatorial Piauí From Dec. 2

Overview

• The annual reajuste approved on November 25 will apply to roughly 1.57 million consumer units in Piauí.
• Residential bills will rise 13.28%, low-voltage customers face an average increase of 13.61%, high-voltage 13.42%, with an overall average effect of 13.57%.
• Aneel cites non‑controllable Parcela A items as the main drivers, covering energy acquisition costs, transmission tariffs and sectoral charges set by regulation.
• Sectoral funding via the CDE and reconciliations under the CVA, including amounts carried from the current and previous cycles, added upward pressure.
• This is an annual Reajuste Tarifário (RAT) that passes through regulated costs, while Parcela B saw a smaller, contract-indexed update based on inflation minus the Fator X.
