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% compared to last year .
Of this total, R$ 30.21 billion (94%) will be paid by consumers on their electricity bill, through a charge included in the tariffs for the use of 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, ANEEL reported that the increase in expenses was related to tariff discounts on transmission; The social tariff; reimbursement of mineral coal subsidies and the CCC (Fuel Consumption Account).
Unit costs
The Agency also determined the definition of the unit costs of the CDE-USO for 2022, defined in R$/MWh – to be perceived by electricity consumers in different regions and service voltage levels – in addition to establishing annual and monthly CDE quotas USE 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;
- Between others.
One Response
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-income programs , costs of thermoelectric energy generation, mineral coal production, among other programs (many of them criticized in the electricity sector).
