Mines 247 - The government leader in the Senate, Romero Jucá (PMDB-RR), stated that the concession model for Cemig's plants will be decided in detail during the sale process, scheduled to take place on Wednesday (27), in an auction in the city of São Paulo.
The company is still negotiating in Brasília the possibility of acquiring at least the Miranda Hydroelectric Plant, one of the four state-owned plants that the government will auction off, a matter that, according to the congressman, "is not a decision we are discussing." "It's a decision for the sector dealing with Public-Private Partnerships and auctions," he said, commenting that there are aspects of the issue being challenged in court. "There's no way to anticipate any decision on this." The report was published in Estadão.
According to the congressman, the government "is interested in Minas Gerais participating on equal terms" with potential competitors. "I spoke with Governor Fernando Pimentel and parliamentarians. The (federal) government is very interested in Minas participating on equal terms. The government cannot create inequality under penalty of being held responsible for the irregularities of the auction process itself," he stated.
