Research and Development and Energy Efficiency

25	Research and Development and Energy Efficiency

In accordance with Law No. 9,991/2000 and supplementary regulations, concession operators and licensees of electric power generation and transmission are required to allocate annually the percentage of 1% of their net operating regulatory revenue to research and development of the electricity sector activities, and the electric power distribution concession operators must segregate this same percentage into the research and development and energy efficiency programs of the electricity sector.

Provisional Measure No. 998 of September 2020, converted into Law No. 14120, on March 1, 2020, amends Law No. 9,991/2000 and provides for the allocation of unused resources from Research and Development (R&D) and Energy Efficiency (PEE) to the Energy Development Account (CDE), aiming at low tariffs until 2025, as a measure to mitigate the economic impacts arising from the Covid-19 pandemic. The regulation of the referred rule is in Aneel Public Consultation.
