Brasilia, 02 – The six Eletrobras distributors that the government plans to privatize on July 26 have accumulated a loss of R $ 22.3 billion since 1997, when Unio temporarily took over these companies in the same year. 39, intention to sell them, for private initiative.
Last week, Federal Supreme Court Minister (STF) Ricardo Lewandowski withdrew the law, and the Federal Supreme Court (STF) distributor Alagoas (Ceal) of the dispute until The state and the federal government include a refund that the state government says they have the right to receive.
In Congress, I still have to vote on the bill that resolves the disputes of distributors in the North, mainly Amazonas Energia.
Distribution was never an activity of Eletrobras, but ended up "ending up" for the company 20 years ago, when the federal government renegotiated and badumed the debts States. In return, under the terms of the agreement, states should privatize their distributors.
For many of them, the operation was successful, in the case of So Paulo, Rio and Santo Esprito. The operation gave birth to companies like Eletropaulo, CPFL, Light and Escelsa
Distributors staying at Eletrobras were the ones who could not be sold. From the beginning, the federalization of the companies had to be a temporary situation.
Eletrobras had the intention to promote improvements in the companies so that they could be privatized in a moment. The lealings of Ceal, Alagoas and Cepisa, Piau, in 1998 and 2000, failed due to a lack of interested parties.
Losses
Even outside the hands of states, distributors continued under the strong influence of politicians and between parties for many years. According to BNDES calculations, in 20 years, retailers consumed R $ 22.3 billion.
As 60% of the shares of Eletrobras belong to Unio, this money came, in the last instance, from the taxes of all Brazilians
In 2016, the shareholders of Eletrobras decided, in badembly, not to renew distributors' concessions. Since then, Eletrobras has been acting as a temporary service provider to maintain service in these states.
The combination was that the company would not use more of its own resources to reach distributors. As a result, the National Electric Power Agency (Aneel) has authorized increases of over 10% in consumer rates served by companies.
In addition, in nearly two years, they consumed about R $ 4.5 billion in subsidized loans. Every month they stay in this situation and are not sold, only 202 million R $.
With negative net badets (debts much larger than its infrastructure), the distributors will be sold for R $ 50,000, a symbolic value.
Workers in the company, a contingent of more than six thousand people, are afraid of losing their jobs when there is an exchange of control of stocks. The average salary paid by distributors of R $ 11.7 million, almost triple the average of private companies in the sector. The information comes from the newspaper
