The PT bench in the Chamber of Deputies was called by the transitional government (Lula/Alckmin) to block the vote on a bill that, if approved, would allow an increase in energy bills. The text had its urgency approved last week and the PT bench even voted in favor. But the transition team's Mines and Energy working group warned of the bad deal. Now, it is up to PT deputies to block approval.
Second report from Congress in Focus, the PT members will now try to obstruct the vote on the proposal, which can be discussed at any time in plenary, according to deputy Marcelo Ramos (PSD-AM), also a member of the transition team.
The information was released during the Congress in Focus Talk which discussed the effects of the project on taxpayers’ pockets:
According to the Brazilian Association of Energy Distributors (Abradee), if the project that allows an increase in electricity bills is approved, there would be an extra cost of R$80,5 billion for the consumer by 2045.
The proposal, authored by federal deputy Celso Russomanno (Republicans/SP), aims to extend the deadline for the entry of the new energy compensation rules defined in Law 14.300 – rules that became popularly known as “sun taxation”.
The problem is that the text changes the so-called legal framework for distributed generation, which provided for the granting of a discount to those who joined the program until January 2023, when the legal framework comes into force.
