Four new members of board of directors of Itaipu Binacional were sworn in last week. Renato Soares Sacramento (executive technical director); Luiz Fernando Delazari (legal director); Carlos Carboni (Coordination director) and Iggor Gomes Rocha (administrative director).
During the inauguration ceremony, everyone used their speeches to reinforce management's focus on paying attention to people and the ecosystem of communities in the company's area of influence.
Carboni was the first to speak and reinforced the company's alignment with federal government policies. “A mission that was set by the president here at the inauguration of the general director is that Itaipu is not just focused on energy generation, but that it has a relationship with the region and the State within social and environmental action goals”.
Itaipu, according to the new legal director, Luiz Fernando Delazari, has the potential to assist the federal government in some of the administration's goals, mainly with regard to rescuing citizenship, combating hunger and improving the population's living conditions.
“These are fighting fronts that Itaipu is allied with. Nothing that interests, concerns, touches and transforms the lives of Brazilians is alien to the company. Our role is to ensure that, within statutory and legal limits, it contributes strongly so that the president can carry out the work of national unity and reconstruction.”
Renato Soares Sacramento, cited two challenges for Itaipu in this new cycle. “The first of these is the Technological Update Plan (PAT), the largest and most complex project ever executed since its construction. The second challenge, and biggest of them, is the review of Annex C [which deals with the financial bases and provision of electricity services], I am sure that this administration will be successful in its journey and we will have a new agreement that will last for the next 50 or 100 years”, he pointed out.
Economist Enio Verri, Brazilian general director of Itaipu Binacional, was sworn in on February 16th. On the occasion, he said that Itaipu “will continue its mission of delivering clean, renewable energy at a fair price and promoting social development.”
