How to Participate
Neoenergia promotes the participation of society in its Energy Efficiency Program through Public Hearings, in which it presents and discusses its results and projects in the area, and Public Project Calls (CPP's), in which it seeks partners, such as large customers and energy conservation companies (ESCOs), to carry out new actions and projects. The promotion of Public Hearings and CPP's are obligations set out in the Neoenergia concession agreement and in the regulations of the National Electric Energy Agency (ANEEL).
Public Hearings
The main objective of the Public Hearing is to provide transparency and publicity to the projects carried out and to collect subsidies for the preparation of new projects. At the Public Hearing, the projects in execution are informed with the expected results and the projects closed in the previous year with their results recorded. In addition, an e-mail is recommended for sending requests, opinions and suggestions.
Public Project Calls (CPP's)
The main objective of the CPP is to make the decision-making process for choosing projects and consumers benefiting from the PEE more transparent and democratic. Through this instrument, all interested parties will be able to submit project proposals aimed at encouraging the development of measures that promote energy efficiency and the fight against the waste of electricity.
