The board of ANEEL (National Electric Energy Agency) postponed the vote on a request for reconsideration regarding the sale of Amazonas Energia.
The company had requested the resource, together with Futura Venture Capital Participações Ltda and the Fundo de Investimento em Participações Infraestrutura Milão de Responsabilidade Ilimitada, after the approval of the transfer of its corporate control to Amber, a company owned by brothers Joesley and Wesley Batista. The case was removed from the agenda at the request of the rapporteur, director Fernando Mosna.
Last Monday (7), the general director of ANEEL, Sandoval Feitosa, authorized, in a monocratic manner, the transfer of control of Amazonas Energia to Âmbar.
Formalized in an extra edition of the Official Gazette of the Union, in the evening, the decision was made after a ruling by the Federal Court of Amazonas. The Batista brothers had questioned the conditions established by the regulatory agency for the transfer.
Pressure for Feitosa's decision increased when the Minister of Mines and Energy, Alexandre Silveira, demanded the ANEEL that the Federal Government would have to assume the costs if the transfer of Amazonas Energia was not completed.
ANEEL will publish a dispatch authorizing the sale of Amazonas Energia
The costs of the intervention would be directly attributed to the regulatory agency. Complying with the court ruling, Sandoval Feitosa approved Âmbar's plan, estimated at R$14 billion.
But the general director of ANEEL reinforced the “precarious nature” of the approval, hoping that the Agency will find another solution. However, the request for reconsideration will take at least another week to be voted on.
