PEE nas chamadas públicas das concessionárias de energia elétrica reguladas pela ANEEL

Abstract

This present work aims to emphasize the importance of Energy Efficiency (EE) in the social, economic and energy spheres. Public calls (PPCs) carried out annually by electric utilities are fundamental tools for expanding the concept of efficiency. The PPCs are regulated by the National Electric Energy Agency (ANEEL), as part of its Energy Efficiency Program, pursuant to Normative Resolution Nº 556. This work highlights laws, rules and guidelines governing public calls throughout the country, whether from the perspective of the electricity distribution concessionaire, the Energy Conservation Services Company (ESCOs), and the customer perspective, which will have their facilities modified for greater use of electricity. It will be presented the scope that ANEEL defines how the public calls should occur, noting that each concessionaire makes public notices, with different formats, however, all must obey ANEEL regulations. In order for the program to succeed, there is a need for a good understanding of the laws and guides available, which govern public calls, which comply with the regulations of Procedures of the Energy Efficiency Program – PROPEE (current regulations in force). In this way, methodologies of how to submit energy efficiency projects in electrical installations will be clarified and exposed in order to obtain the project’s approval when submitted to a public call, either public or private power, in the notices made available by the concessionaires. After defining and explaining all the relevant points of the public call process, a case study will be presented at José Frota Institute (IJF), an emergency medical center, considered a reference in the state of Ceará, which had their air conditioning and lightning systems improved in terms of energy efficiency through public calls from Enel Distribuição Ceará during 2015 and 2016.
