Brazil’s government plans to introduce two measures to cut power prices as it seeks to spur investment by the industry, Folha de S.Paulo reported, without saying where it obtained the information.
The first will reduce at least two taxes paid by distributors that will permit them to sell at lower rates, the Sao Paulo-based newspaper said today. The second will allow operators of distribution, transmission and generation assets to renew concessions that expire by 2015 at lower prices.
