The Agriculture and Agrarian Reform Commission (CRA) is meeting on Tuesday (06) to discuss a list of eight items – among them, the House Bill 60/2018, which extends the time there may be a discount in electric energy tariffs to the irrigating farmer (who uses irrigation in the crop) and the aquaculture producer. The bill has a favorable report from Senator Valdir Raupp (MDB-RO).
The proposal amends Law 10.438, of 2002, which authorizes the reduction of tariffs in the period of eight and a half hours per day, between 9.30 and 6.00 am, regardless of whether it is weekday, weekend or holiday.
With the project, the discount, on weekends, will be granted in the period of 40 hours, from 14h Saturday to 6h Monday; and on national holidays for the uninterrupted period of 24 hours.
