1) Financial assets related to infrastructure

The energy distribution and transmission concession contracts and the gas distribution contracts are within the scope of IFRIC 12. The financial assets under these contracts refer to the investment made in infrastructure that will be returned to the grantor at the end of the concession contract and for which the Company has a contractual right to receive cash form the grantor during the concession contract as well as at the end of the concession contract for an amount corresponding to the residual value of the infrastructure assets.

 

1.1) Transmission – Residual value receivable

Cemig’s transmission concession contracts are within the scope of IFRIC 12. The financial assets under these contracts refer to the investment made in infrastructure that will be returned to the grantor at the end of the concession contract and for which the Company is entitled to receive an amount corresponding to the residual value of the infrastructure assets at the end of the concession contract.

Aneel Normative Resolution 589, of December 10, 2013, set the criteria for calculation of the New Replacement Value (Valor Novo de Reposição, or VNR) of the transmission facilities, to be paid to the Company at the end of the concession contract.

On April 22, 2016 the Mining and Energy Ministry (Ministério de Minas e Energia, or MME) published its Ministerial Order 120, setting the deadline and method of payment for the remaining amount corresponding to the residual value of the assets. The Ministerial Order determined that the amounts homologated by the regulator should become part of the Regulatory Remuneration Asset Base (Base de Remuneração Regulatória, or BRR) and that the cost of capital should be added to the related Permitted Annual Revenues (‘RAP’).

On August 16, 2016, the regulator, through its Dispatch 2,181, homologated the amount of R$ 892, in Reais as of November 2012, for the portion of the residual value of assets to be paid to the Company. Such amount was recorded as a financial asset, with specific maturity and interest rate, which as of December 31, 2017, amounted to R$ 1,928, corresponding to the following:

 

  Portions of remuneration and depreciation not paid since the extensions of concessions

An amount of R$ 993, corresponding to the portions of remuneration and depreciation not paid since the extensions of the concessions, through the tariff adjustment in 2017, which will be inflation adjusted using the IPCA (Expanded National Customer Price) index, and remunerated at the weighted average cost of capital of the transmission industry as defined by the regulator for the periodic tariff review, to be paid over a period of eight years, in the form of reimbursement through the RAP (for more details see Note 26(g)).

 

  Residual Value of transmission assets – injunction awarded to industrial customers

On April 10, 2017, an preliminary injunction was granted to the Brazilian Large Free Customers’ Association (Associação Brasileira de Grandes Consumidores Livres), the Brazilian Auto Glass Industry Technical Association (Associação Técnica Brasileira das Indústrias Automáticas de Vidro) and the Brazilian Ferro-alloys and Silicon Metal Producers’ Association (Associação Brasileira dos Produtores de Ferroligas e de Silicio Metálico) in their legal action against the regulator and the federal government requesting suspension of the effects on their tariffs of payment of the residual value of transmission assets payable to agents of the electricity sector who accepted the terms of Law 12,783/2013.

The preliminary injunction was partial, with effects related to suspension of the inclusion in the customer tariffs paid by these associations of the portion of the indemnity corresponding to the remuneration at cost of capital included since the date of extension of the concessions – amounting to R$ 316 at December 31, 2017.

In compliance with the court decision, the regulator, in its Technical Note 183/201-SGT of June 22, 2017, presented a new calculation, excluding the amounts that refer to the cost of own capital. Cemig believes that this is a provisional decision, and that its right to receive the amount referring to the assets of the basic national grid system (Rede Básica Sistema Elétrico, or RBSE) is guaranteed by law, so that no adjustment to the amount recorded at December 31, 2017 is necessary.

 

  Adjustment of the BRR of Transmission Assets – Aneel Technical Note 183/2017

In the tariff review processes of Cemig GT, ratified on June 23, 2009 (with effects since July 1, 2005) and on June 8, 2010 (with effects since July 1, 2009), the addition of certain conducting cables was not included in the tariff calculation. Therefore, Cemig GT requested the inclusion of these assets in the Remuneration Assets Base calculation and, consequently, the retroactive calculation of the amounts not included in prior tariff reviews.

 

The regulator ruled in favor of the Cemig GT’s request, and calculated the differences between the amounts of revenue ratified in the above-mentioned tariff reviews and the new values calculated with the inclusion of the said conducting cables in the Remuneration Assets Base for the period from July 2005 to December 2012. Such calculation resulted in the amount of R$ 149 as of June 2017, to be received by Cemig GT in 12 months, via RAP. At December 31, 2017, the outstanding amount receivable was R$ 75.

 

  Remaining balance to be received through RAP

The remaining balance, of R$ 544, was incorporated into the regulatory remuneration base of assets, and is being recovered via RAP.

Cemig GT expects to receive in full the receivables in relation to the residual value of the transmission assets, whose changes are as follows:

1.2) Transmission – Assets remunerated by tariff

For new assets related to improvements and upgrades of facilities constructed by transmission concession holders, the regulator calculates an additional portion of Permitted Annual Revenue (RAP) in accordance with a methodology specified in the Proret – Tariff Regulation Procedures.

Under the Proret, the revenue established in the Resolutions is payable to the transmission concessionaires as from the date of start of commercial operation of the facilities. In the periods between tariff reviews, the revenues associated with the improvements and upgrades of facilities are provisional. They are then ultimately determined in the review immediately subsequent to the start of commercial operation of the facilities; this review then has effect starting the date when commercial operations begin. At December 31, 2017, the receivable amounts to R$ 548.

 

1.3) Generation – Residual value financial asset

Plants operated under the ‘Quotas’ regime as from January 1, 2016

Starting August 2013, various concession contracts under the Concession Contract 007/1997 started expiring. Upon expiration of the concession contract, Cemig GT has a right to receive an amount corresponding to the residual value of the infrastructure asses, as specified in such concession contract. The financial asset balance corresponding to such amounts, amounted to R$ 816 at December 31, 2017 (R$ 547 on December 31, 2016).

As stated in Aneel Normative Resolution 615/2014, the valuation reports that support the amounts to be received by the Company in relation to the residual value of the plants, previously operated by Cemig GT, that were included in Lot D and for the Volta Grande plant have submitted to the regulator. The Company do not expect any losses in the realization of these amounts.

On December 31, 2017, investments made after the Jaguara, São Simão and Miranda plants came into operation, in the amounts of R$ 174, R$ 3 and R$ 23 respectively, are classified as concession financial assets, and the determination of the final amounts to be paid to the Company are in a process of discussion with the regulator. Management does not expect any losses in realization of these amounts.

Miranda and São Simão plants

In accordance with the Mining and Energy Ministry Order 291, of August 3, 2017, the amounts of the basic project of the plants were transferred to the account residual value financial assets and monetary adjusted, as shown below:

Cemig GT’s paid a concession fee for a 30-year concession contract related to 18 hydroelectric plants for an amount of R$ 2,216. Of this fee, 65% was paid on January 4, 2016, and the remaining 35% (initially R$ 776) was paid on July 1, 2016 (updated by the Selic rate to a total payment of R$ 828). The amount of the concession fee was recognized as a financial asset, as Cemig GT has an unconditional right to receive the amount paid, updated by the IPCA Index and remuneratory interest, during the period of the concession.

In 2016, all of the output of the plants was sold in the Regulated Market (ACR) under the Physical Guarantee Quotas system. Starting in 2017, 70% of the energy produced by these plants was sold in the Regulated Market and 30% in the Free Market (ACL).

 

2) Account for compensation of variation of portion A items (CVA) and Other financial components

The Amendment that extended the period of the concession of Cemig D guarantees that, in the event of termination of the concession contract, for any reason, the remaining balances (assets and liabilities) of any shortfall in payment or reimbursement through the tariff must also be included payable to Cemig D by the grantor. The balances on (i) the CVA (Compensation for Variation of Portion A items) Account, (ii) the account for Neutrality of Sector Charges, and (iii) Other financial components in the tariff calculation, refer to the positive and negative differences between the estimate of the Company’s non-manageable costs and the payments actually made.

The variations are subject to monetary adjustment using the Selic rate and considered in the subsequent tariff adjustments.

The balances of these financial assets and liabilities are shown below. It should be noted that in the balance sheet amounts are presented net, in assets or liabilities, in accordance with the tariff adjustments approved or to be approved:

(1) Due to the great increase in the costs of hydrology risk, as from July 2017, the regulator amended the rules for pass-through of the excess on the Energy Reserve Account (Conta de Energia de Reserva, or Coner), to relieve the cash pressure of the distributors. Cemig D received approximately R$ 254 from Coner, not included in the tariff coverage, directly impacting the CVA amount of the ESS/EER to be returned to the customer.
(2) Due to unfavorable hydrology condition since July 2017, there has been less hydroelectric generation and as a result more dispatching of thermal plants, increasing the spot price (PLD), and affecting the level of reduction of the physical power offtake guarantee of the hydroelectric plants. For the distributors, this results in higher costs of CCEAR (Regulated Market) contracts with thermal plants, and higher hydrology risk costs for the Itaipu plants, for those that trade power supply under Physical Guarantee Quotas, and for those that sold CCEARs and renegotiated the hydrology risk. In view of these factors, the difference from the cost taken into account in setting the tariff is greater, resulting in an increase in the deferred asset related to purchase of power supply on December 31, 2017.
(3) Billing arising from the ‘Flag’ Tariff System not yet homologated by Aneel.
(4) Under Proret 2.1A, from this point onward amounts of excess of demand and excess of reactive power were appropriated to sector financial liabilities, and will be amortized only at the time of homologation of the 5th periodic tariff review cycle.

(1) The financial component constituted to be passed through to the tariff at the next tariff adjustment, arising from court decisions (injunctions/provisional remedy) in court actions challenging part of the amount of the CDE (Energy Development Account) charge, was reclassified to Credits owed by Eletrobras, and will be amortized with counterpart in deductions from the monthly CDE charges to be paid to Eletrobras, as per a Dispatch issued by Aneel in 2016.
(2) Include a complementary amount relating to homologation of the CVA by Aneel which took place in May 2016.

 

Payments from the Flag Tariff Centralizing Account

The ‘Flag Account’ (Conta Centralizadora de Recursos de Bandeiras Tarifárias – CCRBT or ‘Conta Bandeira’) manages the funds that are collected from captive customers of distribution concession and permission holders operating in the national grid, and are paid, on behalf of the CDE, directly to the Flag Account. The resulting funds are passed through by the Wholesale Trading Chamber (CCEE) to distribution agents, based on the difference between the realized amounts of costs of thermal generation and the exposure to short term market prices, and the amount covered by the tariff in force.

Pass-throughs of funds from the Flag Account in 2017 totaled R$ 586 (R$ 341 in 2016 and R$ 1,124 in 2015) and were recognized as a partial realization of the CVA receivable previously constituted.

The amount referred to above includes the receipt of the ‘Flag’ tariff amounts for December 2016, totaling R$ 3, which was posted in sector Financial liabilities only in January 2017 when approved by the regulator. The remaining balance of R$ 583 refers to the period January through November 2017.
