André Pepitone, Director-General of the National Electric Energy Agency, Says the Average Increase in Electricity Bills Will Be 13%

The Director-General of Aneel – National Electric Energy Agency, André Pepitone, states that the average increase in electricity bills in 2021 should be the highest since 2018. André estimates a 13% increase, which, with tax refunds, could drop to 8%, but will still be the highest rate in three years. On the last day of the 20th, President Jair Bolsonaro stated that he will “get his hands on electric energy” since it is “another problem” for the country.

The President of the Republic, Jair Messias Bolsonaro, who announced on 02/19 the replacement of the president of Petrobras, appointing General Joaquim Silva e Luna to the position, said that he would also make changes in the country’s electric energy sector. “We are going to get our hands on electric energy, which is another problem as well.”

These increases in electricity bills come at a time when the country is still suffering from the economic impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic. Therefore, according to Pepitone in an interview with G1, he is already studying other measures to alleviate the pressure of electricity tariffs.
