A ANEEL (National Electric Energy Agency) approved, this Tuesday (26), a CDE (Energy Development Account) budget worth R$ 32,09 billion for 2022. The adjustment was 34,2% in relation to the last year.
Of this total, R$30,21 billion (94%) will be paid by consumers on their electricity bills, through a charge included in the tariffs for using the distribution and transmission systems (CDE-USO).
The remainder, which corresponds to R$1,877 billion (6%), will be paid by other revenues, including fines and resources from research, development and energy efficiency programs.
In a press release, the ANEEL reported that the increase in expenses was related to tariff discounts on transmission; social tariff; reimbursement of mineral coal subsidies and the CCC (Fuel Consumption Account).
Unit costs
The Agency also determined the definition of the 2022 CDE-USO unit costs, defined in R$/MWh – to be perceived by electricity consumers in different regions and service voltage levels – in addition to setting annual and monthly quotas for the CDE USO of 2022 for distributors
What is the CDE?
Created in April 2002, the Energy Development Account is a sectoral charge aimed at promoting energy development in Brazil, in accordance with the MME (Ministry of Mines and Energy) programming.
CDE resources are intended for:
- The universalization of access to energy through the Luz para Todos program;
- Granting of low-income social tariff discounts;
- Subsidies for the production of thermoelectric energy in isolated systems, through the CCC account;
- Concession compensation;
- Subsidies for national mineral coal;
- Among others.

Matthew, good afternoon. There was no comment on when the measure would become effective on the energy bill. When will I start to be charged after this update, immediately? My understanding is that we are already and will continue to pay 94% of this charge, paid by all consumers in the electricity bill as a charge included in the tariffs for using the distribution and transmission systems (the famous CDE), which mainly aims to subsidize low cost programs. income, costs of generating thermoelectric energy, production of mineral coal, among other programs (many of them criticized in the electricity sector).
