The Ministry of Finance (Ministério da Fazenda) disagreed with the position of the Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME) regarding the decision that doubled the energy price of the Angra 3 nuclear power plant.

The decision was taken by the government on October 9 and raised the reference price of the project from the current R$ 243 per megawatt-hour (MWh) to R$ 480 per MWh. The Estadão/Broadcast had access to the report of the working group created to make feasible the plant, which clarifies the doubts of the economic area.

The Ministry of Finance questioned the data presented by Eletronuclear and Eletrobrás, the exploration model proposed by the companies, the impacts of the decision on the consumer and even on the pertinence of whether or not to return to the plant. The works were paralyzed after allegations of corruption discovered in Operation Lava Jato and that resulted in the arrest of the then president of Eletronuclear, Navy Admiral Othon Pinheiro da Silva.

Now, the estimated cost to finish the plant is R$ 17 billion, which would increase total spending to R$ 24 billion to start up a plant with a capacity of 1,405 megawatts (MW). By way of comparison, the hydroelectric

Teles Pires, on the border between Mato Grosso and Pará, which has a power of 1,820 MW, cost R$ 3.9 billion. With the total cost of Angra 3, therefore, it would be possible to build six hydroelectric plants of Teles Pires.

While Eletronuclear and Eletrobrás defended the model of a private partner to complete the work, the Finance and Planning (Fazenda e Planejamento) ministries evaluated that hiring a company to resume construction of the plant would be the best

option. The portfolios highlight that the option with private shareholder has "significant fiscal risk" and "improbable premises", as well as constitutional impediment. The group delegates the decision to the Secretariat of the Investment Partnership Program (PPI), "if it is understood that the enterprise should in fact be

Faced with Eletronuclear and Eletrobrás numbers regarding Angra 3, the Ministry of Finance acknowledged "Eletrobrás' challenging economic and financial situation," but considered that the company is able to continue paying the financing it took with public banks. "The alleged insufficiency of own resources to meet the financial commitment has not been clear," says the report.

The Ministry of Finance has classified the establishment of a new reference price for the energy to be produced by the plant as an "attempt to solve short-term palliative solutions, but that can signal long-term impacts and risks for both the energy consumer and for the Federal Government and for Eletrobrás itself."

For the economic area, the most appropriate solution would be to approve a new price "only when a consistent business model has been defined, as well as alternatives to minimize the tariff impact." The Ministry of Finance also noted that the price for Angra 3 was 'much higher than the price of energy practiced by comparable sources' in recent auctions.
