The measure, still in the drafting phase, has the main objective of reducing sectoral charges and improving the regulation of energy contracts.

According to the minister, President Lula's participation in the process was important to ensure the advancement of the MP, considering his extensive experience in the area and his ability to dialogue with different segments of society. This approval demonstrates the search for consensus and the interest in promoting measures that benefit the population as a whole.
The expectation is that the measure will be sent to the National Congress in the coming weeks, to be voted on by parliamentarians and, subsequently, converted into law. The minister stressed the importance of speeding up this process, aiming to implement the necessary adjustments as soon as possible.
Reducing electricity rates will create a more favorable environment for investment, stimulating economic growth and job creation. In addition, this measure will also contribute to improving the population's quality of life, since electricity is essential for the functioning of homes, businesses and industries.
With this initiative, the government demonstrates its commitment to finding solutions to boost the country's economy and improve the population's living conditions. The provisional measure aimed at reducing electricity tariffs, with the approval of former President Lula, is an important step in this direction.
