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.

According to Aneel, several factors led to a sharp increase in electricity bills in 2021. These range from increased use of thermal plants to exchange rates.

Since last year, the rise of the dollar has mainly been caused by the pandemic, which makes the energy produced by the Itaipu hydroelectric power plant, the largest in the country, more expensive and can supply about 10% of the national demand.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Austrian engineers have developed an inflatable concrete technology that transforms flat slabs into domes using only air pressure, eliminating scaffolding and temporary forms, and potentially changing the way bridges, tunnels, and curved roofs are constructed worldwide.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

MIT prototype uses AI, camera, and electrical muscle stimulation to help a person draw, play simple notes, and perform technical gestures with their hand.

Concrete underground house almost invisible in the USA is hidden under a hill, supports 250 pounds per square foot, and survived an F4 tornado while neighbors lost everything in Springfield, with a garden roof and natural light.

The Chinese researcher who descended to 9,533 meters with only 30 minutes remaining in the submersible and found the deepest ecosystem ever recorded on Earth, an abyssal forest of red tubeworms that have never seen the Sun and survive by devouring methane at the ocean floor.

Tokyo built a $2 billion underground cathedral with 500-ton pillars and silos as tall as 20-story buildings to counter the floods that threaten to destroy one of the largest urban economies.
