Lobao said that government will send MP to extend concessions to the industry.
'Sector charges will be extinct. This is the way to bring down price '
The Minister of Mines and Energy, Edison Lobao said on Thursday (26) that the government will send to Congress within 30 days, an interim measure to cut all costs of the electricity sector and extend the leases in the area. He said the National Electric Energy Agency (Aneel) is studying the impact that the cut in charges will have on electricity bills for consumers and industry. The government is expected reduction of about 10%.

"We are working intensively on a provisional measure to amend the concessions, for once again extending the concessions of electricity, but all that remained with the principle of low tariffs, which will be intense. The industry charges will be extinct. This is the way to really bring down the price of energy, "said the minister.

The minister said the government will cancel the Fuel Consumption Account (CCC), the Energy Development Account (CDE) and the Global Reversion Reserve (RGR), and change the Incentive Program for Alternative Sources of Energy (Proinfa) . The federal program, Light for All, will remain the same, according to the minister.

"Let's cancel CCC, CDE, RGR, and probably also in mexeremos Proinfa. The Light for All is for the national treasure and will not be any difficulty. The programs will be maintained, "he said.

The announced measures should be done by Dilma, "very likely", according to Lobao, at a meeting on August 7, at the Presidential Palace. The president should meet with the largest Brazilian businessmen to discuss investment in the country and the renewal of concessions in the areas of energy, roads, railways, ports and airports.

Consumer Energy more expensive
To Lobao, the production of electricity is an expensive activity in the country, but that adds up to reach the final consumer. The government says the minister, is trying to "remove obstacles" in the industry.

"The energy, the origin, generation, is cheap, but along the way it goes endearing. What we're basically doing is to remove obstacles from the path so that it reaches the tip for a cheaper price. "

The survey conducted by Aneel said Lobao, will define the percentage of reduction of tariffs.
"The reduction that we are providing, and being examined, evaluated and calculated by Aneel, could be 10% or a little more [for the consumer and industry]," he said.
