The Mines and Energy Commissions and Consumer Protection and the Taxpayer make public hearing on Thursday (30).
The recent increase in electricity tariff in Ontario and the impacts to mining customers will be the focus of a joint public hearing of Mines and Energy Commissions and Consumer Protection and the Legislative Assembly of the Taxpayer Minas Gerais (ALMG) . The meeting will be next Thursday (04/30/15), at 9:30 am at Plenarinho I.

Since April 8, the Energy Company of Minas Gerais (Cemig) was authorized by the National Electric Energy Agency (Aneel), to adjust energy prices in Minas at 5.93% for residences and 8.12 % for industries. On February 27, the fare in Minas Gerais had already suffered an average increase of 21.39% on account of residential consumers. On the same day, it was adjusted tariff flag in 83.3%. The flag system was implemented from January (green, yellow and red), which now vary according to spending on the generation of electricity. The final impact of the two adjustments for the residential consumer who consumes 100 kWh, for example, was 25.75%.

In addition to these increases, MEPs want to discuss how to rate the composition and actions implemented by the State Government for reduction of the ICMS rate. The public hearing was requested by Members Gustavo Valadares (PSDB), Gil Pereira (PP), Bosco (PTdoB), Glaycon Franco (PTN), Dalmo Silva Ribeiro (PSDB), Elismar Prado (PT) and Sergeant Rodrigues (PDT).

"It has concerned in the successive increases in electricity, as well as the new taxation model adopted by the energy companies, in our case Cemig. As it is the consumer has no clarity of the new taxation system. This way, not me it seems fair that the consumer pays more for a flagrant lack of planning of the federal government. We need to protect consumers as well as industries allocated in the state, who are undoubtedly extremely damaged with unfair tariffs "said Dalmo Ribeiro.

To participate in the public hearing were asked the Secretaries of State for Planning and Management, Helvécio Miranda Magalhães Júnior; of Finance, José Afonso da Silva Bicalho Beltrao; and Economic Development, Altamir Roso de Araújo Filho. Also invited the coordinator of Procon State of Minas Gerais, Fernando Ferreira Abreu; the general director of Aneel, Romeo Rufino Donizete; and the president of the Brazilian Institute of Consumer Protection, Marilena Lazzarini.

Among the guests, also the president of Cemig, Mauro Borges Lemos; and the presidents of the Federation of the State of Minas Gerais Industries (Fiemg), Olavo Machado Junior; of Shopkeepers Chamber of Belo Horizonte (CDL), Bruno Selmi Dei Falci, and the Movement of Housewives and Consumers of Minas Gerais, Lucia Pacific. They should also participate Procon Assembly coordinator, Marcelo Rodrigo Barbosa;
and the general coordinator of the Union of Electricians, Jairo Nogueira Filho.
