        Energy Efficiency Program of Electricity Distribution Companies – PEE Aneel

        …aim is to maximize the public benefits of energy saved and demand avoided, promoting the transformation of the energy efficiency market, stimulating the development of new technologies and the creation of habits and rational practices in the use of electricity. Although the Law was only approved in 2000, since 1998 energy efficiency projects were already being implemented by electricity distribution companies due to energy efficiency clauses contained in concession contracts. From 2000 and on, the investments started to be regulated and monitored by Aneel. Some numbers of the program are (1998 – 2019):  - Concluded projects: 4.850  - Energy savings (TWh): 63  …
