About MP
The MP's role is to advance resources from Eletrobras to reduce electricity bills and extend discounts on network usage rates for wind and solar projects that are not yet under construction as they were hampered by a lack of transmission lines.
Eletrobras' anticipated resources refer to R$32 billion that the company committed to paying when it was privatized. The value relates to renewal grants for its hydroelectric plants. Five billion have already been redeemed in 2022 and the remainder can be paid until 2047 with annual contributions to the CDE (Economic Development Account).
The government wants to raise funds in the financial market and payments will be the guarantee. The money will be used to pay off loans to pay off the Covid Account, from 2020, and the Water Scarcity Account, from 2022.
Last week, the government released a draft and it says that the difference between interest rates should be enough to guarantee a reduction of up to 4% for residential rates. The measure will also allow the adjustment in electricity tariffs of 44% in Amapá to be reduced to 4% of residential tariffs.
According to the government, the majority of projects are located in the Northeast region and are at a standstill due to a lack of transmission lines. With this resolution, projects will be able to request an extension of up to 36 months to enter into operation. During this period, new plants and new transmission lines would be within the same deadline for delivery.
