Normative Resolution n. 905/2020 from the Brazilian Electricity Regulatory Agency (ANEEL) enacted the consolidated framework for the Rules of Electrical Energy Transmission Services – or rules of transmission. The consolidation complies with ANEEL 2020-2021 Regulatory Agenda, establishing a framework comprised of six modules:

  • Module 1: Glossary;
  • Module 2: Installation Classification;
  • Module 3: Installations and Equipment;
  • Module 4: Provision of Services;
  • Module 5: System Access;
  • Module 6: Coordination and Control of Operation.

Modules 1 and 3 were approved by NR n. 905/2020, as Annex I and Annex II respectively (available in Portuguese). ANEEL Normative Resolution n. 906/2020 approved Module 4 and complemented Module 1.

The second phase of Public Consultation n. 13/2020 was launched in order to collect public contributions on the consolidation and improvement related to Modules 2 and 5. Contributions can be submitted to this e-mail address until February 1. A Technical Note, a Regulatory Impact Analysis (AIR, in the Portuguese acronym) and instructions for participation are available at the public consultation’s website (in Portuguese).
