Facing the possibility of enhancement of the bill because of the constant use of power plants in power generation, President Rousseff will come to the public on Wednesday, on radio and television, ensuring a commitment to reduce the electricity tariff to the final consumer. The promise of reducing average tariff was made by the President in September last year also through speech to the nation.
Early this year, fears about a possible energy shortages were a constant in various industries. The concern was with the lack of rain that led hydroelectric reservoirs to the lowest level in the last 10 years. In the first week of the year, Rousseff came to anticipate his return from vacation to lead a close meeting with the electricity sector.
To guarantee supply, the government decided to trigger the power plants - gas-powered - whose production is more expensive. The shutdown of these plants is still uncertain and industry experts project a real loss of part of the discount next year.
Safer scenario, according to aides Plateau, the president tries to calm the population and ensure that not only no shortage, but also the value of the bill promised to continue the same: 16.2% for domestic consumers and 28% for productive sector.
