This Thursday (13), Minister Bento Albuquerque said that the installation license for the transmission line between Manaus and Boa Vista should be issued in April.
In principle, the Minister of Mines and Energy, added that “We have never been so close”.
As well as the concessionaire Transnorte, formed between Alupar (51%) and Eletronorte (49%), will remain in charge of the development. The conditions will be the same as those presented by Aneel.
While the Manaus-Boa Vista line north, was auctioned in 2011, so it had a period of three years to be ready.
Roraima is the only one outside the National Interconnected System (SIN), despite the crisis in Venezuela, which supplied the state, today has energy from thermoelectric plants.
Indeed, in addition to energy security, when Roraima is interconnected to the SIN, the cost of energy should be cheaper throughout the country.
Since today, only the cost of diesel thermoelectric plants in Roraima costs the Brazilian population around R$ 2.4 billion per year. And everyone pays.
In 2011, the concession for the electrical interconnection between Manaus and Boa Vista was tendered by Aneel, as it should have started operating in 2015.
Positive Results
The total of 721 km of the route planned to be built in an area close to the BR-174 that connects the two capitals starts on indigenous lands.
As a result, 125 km pass through the Waimiri Atroari indigenous land, where 31 villages are located and 1,600 Indians live in Linhão.
Although the indigenous peoples are not against the project, they demand that they be consulted and that their requests be granted because of the environmental impacts.
The minister said that the project to change the ICMS tax rules, which is part of the tax reform proposal, should be ready by the end of this month.
Throughout the negotiations, the government considered intervening directly in the case to resolve the economic-financial issue, given Aneel's contrary signals to the request.
