President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has appointed three new Brazilian members to the Board of Directors of Itaipu Binacional at a critical juncture in the negotiations of Annex C of the Treaty. The changes include ministers Darío Durigan, Miriam Belchior, and Bruno Moretti, and follow the replacement of the administrative director and the departure of Michele Caputo Neto.
Anexo C
Documento del Tratado de Itaipú que define el precio de la energía generada por la central hidroeléctrica binacional.
Paraguay's National Electricity Administration (ANDE) is considering postponing the update of residential and commercial tariffs until negotiations with Brazil on the new Annex C of the Itaipu Treaty are concluded, expected by mid-year. The state-owned company's president, engineer Félix Sosa, stated that the final tariff will directly depend on this binational agreement, which will define the price of energy generated by the hydroelectric plant.
