The Employers' Association of Eletrobras (Aeel) criticized the announcement of the continuation of Wilson Ferreira Júnior, current president of the state-owned company, and his plan to capitalize the company, after Bolsonaro declared before the inauguration would ensure the continuity of the privatization project of Eletrobras. In an attempt to reverse the sale, Aeel is requesting a meeting with the Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME) and announced that he would continue to work with legislators opposed to the exit of the Union. of the control of the company.
"The privatization of Eletrobras, in a structured way, does not meet the interests and aspirations of the Brazilian nation.
The badociation said that it even celebrated the appointment of the minister of Mines and Energy, Admiral Bento Albuquerque, due to its history of performance in the energy sector.Before his current position, Albuquerque was Director General of Nuclear Development and Technology of the However, during the opening hours of the Bolsonaro administration, we witnessed a coup of state in the hope of all: the minister declared that he was going to resume the privatization project of Eletrobras, denying himself Bolsonaro, and rumors continue to be heard that current and unhappy President Eletrobras was asked to remain in the position ", he criticized in a note.
Aeel explains that the capitalization of the company – if followed by the draft law 9463/2018 sent last January to the Chamber of Deputies -, goes light bills in the long run. Specialists and parliamentarians involved in the case say that the company will be sold at a price well below its value, and that hydropower plants will lose the quota system, in which compensation is based on maintenance and capital costs. exploitation, and therefore on the energy.
"The new MME can not accept the delivery of a national heritage like Eletrobras (whose construction today would cost about 300 billion rand) for about 20 billion rand," Aeel criticized . "Those who buy the control will pay R20 billion and will receive an allowance of +/- R40 billion for the renewal of concessions and factory prices, as well as for the destocking of factories, which will double the price of the megawatt-hour. (The capitalization proposal for Eletrobras, the third phase of a project already partially executed by Ferreira Júnior – the sale of six loss-making distributors and 11 participations in special purpose companies – consists of the company offering to increase its capital, to which the government will not participate in order to reduce its share of a little more than 60% to less than 40% in Eletrobras.
No other shareholder may have more than 10%, to ensure the democratization of capital, according to the bill, and the Union would have a special recourse in clbad action, called the Golden Share.According to the model, Itaipu and Eletronuclear would not do part of the sale, probably being controlled by another company owned by the state that would be created.
