Cemig electricity meter replacement procedures
Overview
Cemig has issued clarifications regarding the maintenance and replacement of electricity meters. The company stated that because the equipment belongs to the distributor, Cemig is responsible for replacement due to technical failures, manufacturing defects, or natural wear and end-of-life issues.
Supervisors warned consumers against attempting unauthorized repairs or removals, noting that such actions pose safety risks and may be classified as irregularities. While replacements for technical reasons are generally free, Aneel regulations allow the company to charge consumers if the replacement is necessitated by intentional damage, tampering, or irregular interventions.
