BRASÍLIA – Three tariff adjustments of electricity distributors are already suspended by court order. The National Electric Power Agency (Aneel) reported Tuesday 8 that the Eletroacre tariff adjustment was no longer valid . At the end of last year, similar court decisions annulled the readjustments of Ceron, which operates in Rondônia, and CEA, in Amapá . The Federal Attorney General's Office (AGU) will appeal all decisions.
The lawsuits are not related, but they show the company's resistance to the high indexes of readjustment of light approved in recent years. Eletroacre and Ceron belonged to Eletrobras, a federal government company, but were privatized in August and now belong to the Energisa group. The CEA belongs to the state of Amapá and should also be sold soon.
All increases were authorized by Aneel in December. The new Eletroacre tariffs have increased by 21.29%. The electricity bill of Ceron customers has increased by 25.34%. For Companhia Energética do Amapá (CEA), the average increase was 4.60%, but the previous year, 37.02%.
Eletroacre and Ceron have just been privatized and the selection criterion was the one that offered the highest discount to consumers. Without the sale of corporate control, the increase could be even greater. Eletroacre would have a readjustment of 24.71% and Céron, 32.25%.
In turn, the CEA belongs to the state of Amapá and is managed jointly with Eletrobras, but is on the list of privatizations of the government. The sale of the company will be coordinated by the Investment Partnership Program (IPP) and the studies will be subcontracted to the National Bank for Economic and Social Development (BNDES).
The injunction suspending the readjustment of Eletroacre was granted by the 2nd Federal Court of Acre. The action was created by the State Public Defender, who claims that Energisa, the company's owner, has not made the necessary investments to justify the increase.
Senator Randolfe Rodrigues (Rede-AP) is the author of the action to suspend the readjustment of the CEA. The injunction was granted by the 2nd Federal Civil Court of the Judiciary of the State of Amapá. As part of this lawsuit, the senator says that the loss index of the company, pbaded on tariffs, is covered by the budget resources of the state, which belong to him.
In the case of Ceron, the public action was initiated by the Federal Prosecution, the State Prosecutor's Office of Rondônia, the State Council for Consumer Protection and the Public Defender of the State of Rondônia. The agencies wanted to limit the readjustment to the change in inflation. The injunction was granted by the 1st Federal Civil Court of the Judicial Section of the State of Rondônia
