In a meeting held this Tuesday (12), the ANEEL (National Electric Energy Agency) approved the RTEs (Extraordinary Tariff Revisions) of ten distributors that have already gone through the tariff process in 2022, leading to a reduction in the rates that had already been approved.
RTEs are promoted as a result of the application of Law No. 14.385 / 2022, which changes the Law No. 9.427 of 26 December 1996, for the return of tax amounts collected in excess by public electricity distribution service providers.
The new rates come into force from this Wednesday (13). The Agency stated that the amounts to be returned were calculated and included as a financial component in the distributors' tariff processes, in accordance with Law No. 14.385.
Deliberations on the tariff processes of the distributors Energisa Mato Grosso do Sul (EMS), Energisa Mato Grosso (EMT), whose credits have not yet been authorized by the Federal Revenue, as well as Equatorial Alagoas and Light, were postponed, due to court injunctions.
Regarding distributors whose tariff processes have not yet occurred in 2022, the board of ANEEL informed that it will make the necessary calculations of the impact of the return at the time of the readjustment/review of each company.
Below is a table prepared by the Authority that shows the average effect on current tariffs to be perceived by consumers.

Light tariff
The TRF-1 (Federal Regional Court of the 1st Region) responded to a request from Light and ordered the ANEEL postpone the reduction of tariffs charged to its consumers.
According to a document obtained by GLOBO, the Agency estimates that the tariff review will lead to a 6% drop in tariffs for residential consumers and 5,68% for industrial customers.
TRF-1 accepted Light's request, which argued that this reduction could only occur after a public hearing.
