Approved Today by the Senate Economic Affairs Committee, the Bill Allocating Pre-Salt Funds for Financing Pipelines

The committee that studies and enables economic matters in the Senate approved today (11) a bill that changes the rules in the electricity sector and allocates pre-salt funds for financing the construction of pipelines.

Another part of the proposal refers to hydroelectric plants. It is stipulated that hydroelectric plants will receive compensation in case of drought, known as hydrological risk. Under the current rule, if there is a lack of rainfall, companies resort to thermoelectric plants (a practice with higher costs) and also risk paying fines if there is an interruption in energy supply.

In 2015, a law created by MP 688 attempted to resolve judicial impasses regarding the transfer of hydrological risk to consumers. The energy generation companies, under the law created, went to court and claimed that the plants should not bear the costs generated by the risk, resulting in a liability estimated by CCEE at R$ 8 billion.

Since 2015, the topic has been under consideration in the National Congress due to numerous questions from lawmakers about the new rules and whether they would affect the final consumer. The project still needs to undergo analysis by the Senate plenary and only then go to President Jair Bolsonaro.
