Manuel María Cáceres, Paraguayan director of Itaipú, informed 730 AM that they are very close to closing the agreement for the binational rate. If it can be resolved, they will call an extraordinary session. However, he ruled out that this issue will be resolved today, Tuesday.
“We are close, wanting to finish as soon as possible. So far it is not planned. It’s not on the agenda,” she said.
The rate to be defined is that of this year 2022. It has been postponed for six months. Its definition will have repercussions with the negotiation of Annex “C” of the Itaipu Treaty that expires in August of next year 2023. Therefore, the negotiations are not resolved.
Paraguay’s proposal is US$ 22.6 kW/month, while Brazil requests a reduction to US$ 18.95 kW/month
