Federal deputy Dorinaldo Malafaia (PDT) questioned, this Friday (6), the National Operator of the Brazilian Electric System (ONS) about the possibility of shutting down one of Amapá’s hydroelectric plants and its implications for the state’s population.
The news was published in several press outlets this Thursday (5) and the general director of the ONS, Luiz Carlos Ciocchi, reportedly stated that among the four hydroelectric plants in Amapá, the one that could be turned off would be Cachoeira Caldeirão, located between the municipalities of Porto Grande and Ferreira Gomes, on the Araguari River. According to Ciocchi, the level [de água] is “worrying”.
“Amapá can no longer be penalized. There was a blackout lasting more than 20 days, the service was bad, extremely expensive and they announced an increase of 44.41%. Mr General Director, Amapá is at its limit with the energy issue”, stated Dorinaldo in the text of the letter sent.
The following questions were asked:
“1 – Will any of the hydroelectric plants in Amapá be shut down? If so, which one and when?
2 – What is the ideal water level in reservoirs? What are the current levels?
3 – If the shutdown is effective, will Amapá have any coverage problems?
4 – Regarding the energy tariff, will the shutdown result in any increase, in addition to the tariff extremely charged to the population today?”
Bills
Furthermore, the deputy has already presented two bills that aim to compensate for the fact that the state has a surplus in the production of renewable energy. One of the PLs prevents the charging of yellow and red flags in Amapá. The second makes a relationship between the Urban Development Index (HDI) and the value of tariffs, that is, states with lower HDI, such as those in the north and northeast, must necessarily pay lower tariffs, which is the opposite of what happens today. .
“We are vigilant and will continue on all possible fronts. Amapá has to have its energy issue resolved and this is only possible if the people are not faced with bad service and exorbitant tariffs”, concluded Dorinaldo.
