 | | Residential consumption in the first half, however, fell by 1.15%, a product of the electricity rationing measures implemented by the Brazilian Government in the second quarter. |
 | | Total operating revenues of R$1,933 million grew by 8.00% from the first to the second quarter, and by 15.76% as compared with the first half of the prior year, due mainly to higher transmission network usage fees, and, higher utilization of the Igarapava Thermal Plant and CCC reimbursements made to CEMIG by ANEEL. |
 | | Operating expenses increased by 18.87% to R$257.3 million, substantially due to the higher expenses accrued in energy purchased for resale, personnel and the CCC charge (fuel consumption account). |
