Next week, the process that evaluates the annual tariff adjustment of Light Serviços de Eletricidade will complete three months without a decision from the board of directors. ANEEL (National Electric Energy Agency). The matter was on the agenda of the ordinary summit meeting on Tuesday (3), but was withdrawn.
The five directors have not yet managed to form a majority on the percentages, which would come into effect on March 15, which has left consumers in doubt about the impact on their electricity bills. The next regular meeting of the regulatory agency will be on June 10, exactly 91 days since the process began to be considered by the plenary.
The matter was on the agenda at the 7th ordinary public meeting of the board of directors ANEEL, on March 11. At that time, the reporting director Fernando Mosna voted to approve the adjustment, which would lead to an average effect of -0,63%, with 3,8% for high-voltage consumers and -2,35% for low-voltage consumers. He also defended the approval of a regulatory liability of R$1,6 billion, which would be updated by the Selic rate and reassessed in the company's next tariff process.
At the time, director Ludimila Silva presented a separate vote in favor of approving another adjustment, which would produce a better average effect for consumers: -5,76%, of which -2,08% for high voltage and -7,19% for low voltage. The regulatory liability proposed by her would be R$893 million, almost half the figures in the original report. Then director Ricardo Tili, who left the board of directors ANEEL last week after the end of his term, he asked for a review of that occasion.
The process only returned to the board's agenda more than a month later, at the agency's 14th regular meeting, held on April 29. Tili presented a review vote with new adjustment percentages: -1,67% average effect, with 0,52% for high-voltage consumers and -2,52% for low-voltage consumers. He did not mention figures for the company's regulatory liabilities. Director Ludimila Silva maintained her vote cast in March, but it was the agency's general director, Sandoval Feitosa, who requested a review.
Since then, the process has been recorded in the minutes of the last two regular board meetings: the 18th, held on May 27, and the 19th, held this Tuesday (June 3). In both, it was simply removed from the agenda. According to the rules, decisions must be deliberated with a majority of directors present and with three votes to become valid. The debate has already had three different versions for Light's readjustment, with the votes of Sandoval and director Agnes Aragão still pending.
Although he is no longer part of the regulatory agency's leadership, Tili's vote is still valid, as it was cast in plenary session. He was succeeded by the agency's general secretary ANEEL, Daniel Danna, who took over as deputy director for a period of 180 days. Although it is not a practice, the positions already expressed by Mosna and Ludimila may still be changed until the end of the vote.
