7.2 | Electricity Trading Chamber - CCEE
Balance receivable deriving from the positive position in the monthly settlement of the spot market centralized by CCEE. Amounts are received in the second month following the recognition of revenue or offset against future settlements when the result is negative for the subsidiary. Of the total presented, R$119,665 refer to the controversial portion resulting from the effects of the injunction for exclusion of responsibility of Colíder HPP. As a result of unforeseeable circumstances and force majeure, the power plant had its commercial start-up delayed, which was initially scheduled for January 2015. The Company is contesting in court, filing a request for exclusion of liability so that the mandatory supply of energy contracted by the plant, in the period in delay, is postponed. Expected credit losses were recorded in the same amount as the receivable balance, as presented in Note 7.3. Copel GeT filed an administrative request for the exclusion of liability at ANEEL, which was denied, and subsequently, at December 18, 2017, it filed an ordinary lawsuit with request for advance protection with the Court, requesting the reversal of the agency’s decision. On April 6, 2018, the Federal Court of the 1st Region fully granted the preliminary injunction applied for in the interlocutory appeal to suspend the enforcement of any burden or penalty to Copel as a result of noncompliance with the deadlines originally provided for in the Concession Agreement until a final unappealable ruling is rendered. The main action awaits its judgment on merits. The contracted energy of the Colider plant is 125 MW average. For overdue periods the contract was fulfilled and, due to the fact it is awaiting a decision on the merits of the lawsuit, the Company recognized the revenue limited to the financial covenants of the agreement and the regulatory rules, as well as the cost of energy to cover the contractual guarantee.

7.4 | Incentive program for the voluntary reduction of electricity consumption
Due to the water scarcity scenario in the last years, the Federal Government proposed the creation of the Incentive Program for the Voluntary Reduction of Electricity Consumption, within the scope of the Chamber of Exceptional Rules for Hydroenergetic Management (CREG), with the purpose of encouraging consumers to reduce their energy consumption and thus avoid contracting more expensive plants. To be entitled to the bonus, the consumer should reduce his electricity consumption in the months from September to December 2021, in such a way that the total consumptions in this period were at least 10% lower than the total consumptions for the same period of 2020. Once the reduction target is reached, the consumer will receive a bonus of R$0.50 per kilowatt-hour (kWh) of the total energy saved from September to December 2021, compared to the same period of 2020. However, the bonus to be credited to the electricity bill is limited to 20% of the energy saved. Consumers eligible to receive the bonus are those of low voltage (group B) and medium and high voltage (group A), only from residential, industrial, commercial, services and other activities, rural and public service consumption classes, including those residential consumers that benefit from the Social Electricity Tariff (TSEE). The costs of the Incentive Program for the Voluntary Reduction of Electricity Consumption will be covered by the System Service Charges (ESS), to be passed on by CCEE to the distributors. The Company recorded a credit in the amount of R$134,890 in Assets - Consumers, concessionaires and licensees referring to the bonus granted to consumers as a result of the aforementioned program against Assets - Other Receivables. For eligible consumers, the bonus will be credited to invoices for January, February and March 2022, and reimbursement to distributors will be made in the CCEE accounting for January, February and March, to be settled in March, April and May of the same year. |
