In accordance to the Auction's Bidding Document #2/2018-PPI/PND, ANEEL should hold a specific tariff adjustment 45 days after the signing of the new Concession Contract in order to consider the Auction's result and, in accordance to the Ministry of Mines and Energy Resolution #370/2018, Cepisa's tariff adjustment will be held together with the Auction's tariff adjustment.
