The President of the Chamber of Deputies, Arthur Lira (PP-AL), said this Wednesday (18) that the House should continue discussing ways to reduce the values of electricity bills by distributors approved by the National Electric Energy Agency (Aneel).
The deputy participated in a meeting with the Minister of Mines and Energy, Adolfo Sachsida and representatives of ring to talk about the subject and the processing of a bill, the PDL 94/22, which seeks to suspend the 23.99% readjustment in electricity bills in Ceará.
Author of the project, deputy Domingos Neto (PSD-CE) said he intends to make changes to the text to also suspend increases in other states, such as Alagoas, Bahia, Rio Grande do Norte and Mato Grosso do Sul. On the 3rd of May, the Chamber approved the procedure for the PDL on an emergency basis, accelerating its analysis and voting.
There is yet another PDL, 123/22, which seeks to suspend the 18.98% readjustment in accounts in Pernambuco.
“It was a very productive meeting in which Minister Sachsida left here with the task of meeting with the distributors, Aneel and parliamentarians to discuss a balanced solution that can, from that moment on, have a solution to reduce this transfer”, said Lira. .
He pointed out that, as much as the readjustments are contractual, they could be minimized at a “time still of great difficulty”, after the withdrawal in April of the water scarcity flag, which charged an additional value on electricity bills.
A good part of the readjustments is linked to the suspension of increases in the accounts in 2020 and 2021 due to the pandemic and the water crisis last year, the worst in more than 90 years.
Lira said he expects a response “in a very short time” from the sector so that the Chamber can discuss the issue in committees and in the plenary. He also stated that he hopes that the issue will be resolved by “the sensitivity of Aneel and the distributors, which make concessions at this moment in Brazil a topic of much discussion”.
