          "MegaWhat reported on 2 October that ANEEL was considering waiving R$804.07 million in distributor contributions to Proinfa for November and December. The proposal followed extensions of contracts at 83 programme plants and a revised cost estimate. At publication, the measure was scheduled for the agency board’s 6 October meeting, so it remained a proposal rather than an approved decision."

Distributors had already paid more than their revised annual share, while any excess would remain in the programme account for later treatment. This October 2 story records the pending proposal and should not be read as confirmation of the board’s eventual action."
