The board of ANEEL (National Electric Energy Agency) reduced a million-dollar fine imposed on Neoenergia Pernambuco. In a decision taken at a public meeting on Tuesday (19), the regulatory agency's leadership changed the amount from R$22,6 million to R$10,6 million.

ARPE also identified 22 errors in 294 cases analyzed (7,48%), related to the estimated duration of the irregularity period in the measurement.
