Análise do tratamento regulatório das perdas nas distribuidoras de energia elétrica : um estudo de caso na concessionária de Mato Grosso

Abstract

The Brazilian electrical industry covers the stages of generation, transmission and distribution of energy, and in this entire context, losses of electrical energy are inevitable, therefore, it becomes fundamental for its understanding, on the one hand, considering the scientific and technological and, on the other hand, observing the institutional approach given by the standards defined by the National Electric Energy Agency (ANEEL). In this context, this study focuses the analysis on Electricity Distributors, considering that these losses (whether technical or non-technical) have impacts on the distributors' energy purchase contracts, directly influencing the costs of commercialization tariffs. Considering that losses are not measured, ANEEL defines regulatory models through Distribution Procedures Module 7 and Tariff Regulation Procedures Submodule 2.6 that qualify and quantify these losses, in addition to defining the regulatory treatment that losses will receive in their quantification process. Therefore, this work investigates how these models reflect losses, through the analysis of the regulatory treatment defined in the standards mentioned above. This study is also based on what is established in law 8,987 of 1995, when it deals with the Adequate Service (Chapter 2), which deals with Tariff Moderation, Revision, Application of Modernization Techniques and Technologies to ensure balance between operational efficiency, continuity of supply, security and reasonable rates. Therefore, this study seeks to contribute to the understanding of the performance of regulatory models and their respective impacts on tariffs, as it aims to verify/analyze whether the regulatory treatment of losses reflects the reality of distribution companies and whether a balance is achieved between distributor and consumer, as established by law.
