The Director General of ANEEL (National Agency of Electrical Energy), Nelson Hubner, defended on Monday the creation of a compensatory mechanism to avoid the distortions that occur in the energy prices paid in each state in Brazil. According to Hubner, even in the same State, when more than one distributor, the prices of fares are very different.
In Goiás, for example, the consumer Celg (Companhia Energetica de Goias) paid the 12th bill cheaper country, the just_pan (Hydroelectric Company St. Patrick), which serves 10 outlying cities, it pays the 4th most expensive.
"We will have to necessarily walk into any legal change, create some mechanism to handle some of these distortions in tariffs", said Hubner.
To Hubner, equalize the rates is a matter of policy the country's development. He explains that many companies prefer to settle in the Southeast than the Northeast, for example, because in the second region the energy price is up to twice the first. "We are defining a whole system of the country's development over the electricity tariff," he said.
Among the alternatives, Hubner quoted selling power plants already paid a price slightly above the market and use the difference in creating a fund equalizer electricity tariffs.
The director of the agency Edvaldo Santana the incorporation of the smaller distributors to generate greater economies of scale and consequent reduction of tariffs. He points out that Santa Catarina, for example, has eight electricity distributors.
"This is one way to solve the problem of pricing. For me, Rio de Janeiro, for instance, is the typical size of state that a distributor is enough," he said. In Rio de Janeiro operate two electricity distributors.
