3 TARIFF REVISION CYCLE


rd

n August 6th, the Brazilian Electricity Regulatory Agency (ANEEL) disclosed the preliminary proposal for the Third Tariff Revision to be applied in November. ANEEL proposes a reduction of 3.28% in residential consumer bills and an average reduction of 6.70% for the highvoltage market. For medium-voltage consumers, the regulatory agency proposes an adjustment of - 1.48%. Regarding the Regulatory Assets Base (RAB), the preliminary proposal establishes a Gross RAB of R$11.5 billion and a Net RAB of R$6.4 billion. These amounts already include the effects of the inspection of Asset Under Service, conducted in last April. The Asset Appraisal Report includes the amounts of Smaller Components (COM) and Additional Costs (CA) defined by ANEEL. In relation to non-technical energy losses, the start point in this preliminary proposal for the regulatory target of non-technical energy losses over the low-voltage market is 31.82%, reflecting the direct application of the methodology defined in the Technical Note. The reduction speed in the loss curve was calculated in the preliminary proposal at 1.195 p.p. per

annum, lower than the speed of the previous cycle, which was 1.79 p.p. per annum. The final target for the 3rd cycle would be 25.81%. The preliminary proposal does not include the evaluation of ANEELs technical area on the request for treatment of non-technical energy losses submitted by Light SESA. The executive board of ANEEL recommended the creation of a work group made up of Agency experts, in order to evaluate in situ the real complexity of the concession and the efforts being made by Light

SESA to combat losses in order to present a diagnosis and recommendation for how to handle, from a regulatory perspective, the concessionaire's non-technical energy losses. In August, a commission composed of six ANEEL technicians, which was accompanied by Light technicians, visited sites such as Complexo do Alemo, Vigrio Geral, Cosmos and Rio das Pedras, among other communities, to learn more about the field work developed by teams dedicated to combating energy losses.

APZ: ONE YEAR OF SUCCESS


he project reas de Perda Zero (APZ Zero Lost Areas) is celebrating its first year of implementation with great success. APZ has reached 20 units and 318,000 clients in the Baixada Fluminense, Zona Oeste and Zona Norte areas of the city of Rio de Janeiro. With investments in network protection, installation of electronic meters and well-trained workforce, losses fell on average by 26 p.p., from 48% to 23%, since the beginning of the project.

T O

of all clients of Light, explained Marco Vilela, Light s commercial superintendent. The project focuses on small clients and areas with high loss and default ratios. The welltrained teams perform tasks related to electricity provision services, including negotiations for payment in installments of clients past due bills. To further expand the programs initiatives, on September 5th, Light and Sebrae signed a protocol of intentions. The professionals participating in the APZ project present themselves in the Companys uniform and act as consultants for evaluating the entire electricity network, giving tips for saving energy, updating clients registrations, verifying meters, fixing electricity connections and eliminating illegal connections.

The union of the Centralized Measurement Systems technology and daily operation of our dedicated teams is key to the success of APZ. Since its implementation in August of 2012, the project has recorded an average increase of 7 percentage points in the collection rate. We want to reach 30 units and 400,000 clients by the end of 2013, which will represent approximately 10%
