SAO PAULO - With the entry into force of the Provisional Measure 466, which among other things, redefines the use of funds raised through the CCC Account (Fuel Consumption), the consumer does not get rid of the extra spending bill, second warning the president of the Lights Brazil, Claudio Sales.

According to Sales, integrating into the SIN (National Interconnected System) states of isolated systems in the northern region, which until then consumed by thermal energy generated by diesel fuel, there was the expectation that reduced the percentage for the CCC, billed via light of consumers all over Brazil, since the charge was used to subsidize the purchase of oil in these systems.

However, he explains, with the MP, the government changed the logic to cover the CCC, so that now the action is used to compensate for the loss of revenue of the states of the northern region, due to decreased sales of the diesel.

"This cost, which last year reached 3.5% of the total collected with the bills should be reduced as these states are being integrated. On the other hand, the MP 466, consumers will continue paying this cost, with the excuse of loss of revenue, "he said.

Isolated systems
The energy generated in the so-isolated systems (states of Acre, Rondonia, Amazonas and Amapá) is produced primarily by thermal diesel, which, according to a statement published by the Ministry of Mines and Energy, are more expensive and polluting.

With the interconnection, the Ministry provides a sharp drop in oil generation, which in their view, will reduce the charges to subsidize consumers in the North of the country

The first connection, connecting the states of Acre and Rondônia to the SIN, should occur later this month. Since the interconnection of Amazonas and Amapa is expected to happen in 2011.
