The Sale Of The Three Hydroelectric Plants Is An Alternative, But There Is Also The Possibility Of The Company Itself Being Privatized To Relieve The Public Treasury

Cemig, the state-owned company from Minas Gerais, is planning to privatize three hydroelectric plants (Sá Carvalho, Nova Ponte, and Emborcação), whose concession contracts expire between 2024 and 2025. Just like the federal government, which also has its disinvestment plan.
Cemig’s initial thought is to privatize the ventures so that the concessions can be renewed, upon payment of a fixed fee, without competition in an auction, this applies to both state-owned companies like Cemig and Copel and CEEE,

Cesp is a good model to be used, as the state-owned company extended the concession of the Porto Primavera hydroelectric plant under these terms. Cemig’s idea is to keep 49% of the plants to avoid the risk of losing all of them.
This is due to the fact that Cemig already lost 60% of its generation in 2013, when it did not renew the concessions of plants that expired at that time.

State Government

To privatize the hydroelectric plants, the government of Minas Gerais will need the approval of the Legislative Assembly, as this requirement is stated in the state’s constitution.
There is also the possibility of privatizing Cemig as a whole, since it is an imposition from the federal government for the state to be part of the fiscal regularization program.

The governor of the state of Minas Gerais, Romeu Zema, will send the privatization program to the Legislative Assembly by the end of the month for it to be approved by the end of the year, and Cemig may or may not be included.

Cemig, just like the federal government, also has its disinvestment program to relieve the state of assets that do not have the expected return.
Renova is among the assets to be divested, currently in the process of selling the Alto Sertão III wind complex to AES Tietê.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

While the U.S. still faces limitations in deep space, China is developing unprecedented technology with strategic satellites that maintain communication with the far side of the Moon and aims for dominance by 2030.

With 7.4 trillion tons of artificial snow pumped in 10 years, an extreme operation could stabilize the West Antarctic ice sheet and prevent a sea level rise of more than 3 meters, but it would require snow cannons, ocean water, and energy on an almost industrial scale at the end of the world.

The Blood Falls of Antarctica hide a living ecosystem trapped under the ice for over 2 million years, where microbes survive without light, without oxygen, and without ever having seen the Sun.

In the Saudi Arabian desert, the world’s largest green hydrogen plant is 80% complete and will use 4 gigawatts of solar and wind energy to produce 600 tons of clean fuel per day when it opens in 2027.

The CEO of Honor in Spain says that smartphones will change with AI, foldables, and even robot phones; the component crisis is making cheap models more expensive in 2026 and shifting the focus to premium.

Chinese automaker patents a toilet hidden inside the car seat that can be activated by voice command and promises to meet the needs of those stuck in traffic for hours or traveling long distances.

The BRICS Bank releases an additional 2.5 billion reais for Brazil, raising the total invested in the country to 7 billion dollars since 2015 in railways, renewable energy, sanitation, and urban mobility.

At 625 meters above the ground and with a span of 1,420 meters between mountains, China inaugurated the highest bridge in the world — and the 2-hour journey now takes 2 minutes.

A neighboring country of Brazil starts to profit billions from oil after the war in Iran, sees its economy grow at an unusual pace, and enters a silent dilemma that few countries can resolve without a crisis.

War in Iran complicates the situation, the government is considering holding back gasoline prices, and the new minister says that if necessary, the country may even go into more debt to protect families.
