“Mr. President,
Extending my cordial greetings, I am writing to respectfully request cooperation of efforts for the resumption of the Angra 3 works. As is known, the COVID-19 pandemic has caused unprecedented economic damage worldwide, and Brazil is no different. We share your Excellency’s concern regarding the dismantling of our economy.

Thus, any action that generates jobs will be a national priority. At this point, the resumption of the Angra 3 nuclear power plant will be an effective measure capable of generating 5,000 direct jobs and more than 20,000 indirect ones. The works have been halted since the corruption scandals. However, the fact is that the new management of Eletronuclear has built a program in partnership with BNDES technicians, capable of justifying the necessary investments that will be amortized with the sale of electricity generated by the Almirante Álvaro Alberto Nuclear Power Plant.
In addition, the operation of Angra 3 will provide energy security for the resumption of Brazil’s economic growth. Given this issue, we respectfully request the necessary measures for the resumption of the Angra 3 works, as it will be able to generate jobs, stimulating the economy, and ensuring economic growth in Brazil.
Confident that our requests will be duly appreciated and implemented, we bid you farewell cordially.
Respectfully, Fernando Antônio Ceciliano Jordão – Mayor of Angra dos Reis
