Aneel Approves Average 13.57% Power Tariff Hike for Equatorial Piauí Starting Dec. 2

Overview

• Residential bills will rise 13.28%, low-voltage consumers face a 13.61% average increase, high-voltage users 13.42%, and the overall average effect is 13.57%.
• The distributor serves about 1.57 million consumer units across the state of Piauí.
• Aneel identifies noncontrollable Parcela A items such as energy purchases, transmission and sectoral charges as the principal drivers.
• Higher CDE outlays and CVA corrections, including financial components accumulated from the current and prior tariff processes, added to the increase.
• Parcela B, updated by the contractual inflation index minus the Fator X, had a smaller impact in this annual reajuste, which is a RAT rather than an RTP.
