Overview
This article informs about the Brazilian Energy Efficiency Program (port. Programa de Eficiência Energética - PEE) and the recent improvement of PEE´s regulatory framework. The Brazilian electricity regulation authority ANEEL (port. Agência Nacional de Energia Elétrica - ANEEL), competent supervising entity of the PEE, was supported by Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH[1]. The new regulation entered into force on 2nd July 2013.
Introduction
Energy efficiency policies still play a marginal role in Brazil. Vast energy saving potentials exists in many sectors, especially in the industry and commerce. Along with the residential sector, these are the most energy intensive sectors in Brazil. Since the beginning of the century, however, the country is gradually building a regulatory framework to develop such policies.
In 2000, the Brazilian government legally implemented the PEE under regulation and supervision of the ANEEL. PEE demands the 100 electricity providers in the regulated energy market to spend 0.5 percent of their yearly net operating income in energy efficiency projects, which represents a total budget of approx. 120 Mio. Euro per year. This makes PEE the largest financial source for energy efficiency projects in Brazil. Between 2008 and 2012, most projects were implemented in the low [2]income household sector (62%). However, analysis conducted by ANEEL showed trends of declining returns of PEE resources, and that adjustments in the regulation were necessary.

PROPEE, in force since 2nd July 2013[3], describes the enhanced regulatory framework of PEE. It establishes eligibility criteria demanded by ANEEL and guidelines for the execution of energy efficiency projects in the context of the PEE. Projects selection procedures were also altered – under current rules, projects are proposed by the market, and those with higher cost benefit ratios are prioritized. The improved regulation is an output of the cooperation between ANEEL and GIZ, which provided technical advice during the whole improvement process.
Infosheet: New regulation for the Energy Efficiency Program - Neue Regulierung für Energieeffizienzprogramm (2014)
With the aim of improving the potential energy savings of PEE´s enormous financial potential and quality of PEE projects in all sectors, ANEEL, supported by GIZ, worked in the reformulation of its regulatory framework. The new regulation – “Procedures of the PEE” (port. Procedimentos do Programa de Eficiência Energética - PROPEE) – transformed the PEE from a donation to an incentive program, with a focus on leveraging resources from third parties.
