00:00There was a controversy because the national government, through the head of the cabinet,

00:04Guillermo Franco, spoke of planned cuts of electricity for the summer.

00:10Then the government itself took a step back and in the middle people don't understand anything at all.

00:16Will they be for homes? Will they be for industries? What is there, Pablo, about this?

00:21Well, Guillermo Franco had spoken of planned cuts.

00:24Today Eduardo Rodríguez Chirino, who is the Secretary of Energy, spoke.

00:27He said, watch out, these planned cuts are not going to be for residential users,

00:32but they are going to be for industries, and they are going to be, in addition, consensual with the industries themselves.

00:38That is, the Secretary of Energy himself, Chirino, denied it to the head of the cabinet. Let's look at it, let's see.

00:44Where do you get the energy from? We are doing a program as part of the program.

00:49Summer emergency?

00:51Yes, it is called. We are in an energy emergency, don't forget.

00:57We are making a contingency plan to recover a lot of plants that may receive a remuneration

01:09and increase their availability. Local plants, plants that are in the country,

01:15but as they receive a bad remuneration, when you call them to start generating, they tell you no.

01:25At that price, I don't sell you.

01:27Yes, it is like having all the cars below that are available, but just that you are going to call the car and say,

01:34no, my wheel is punctured. So, well, look, I'll give it to you so you can ask, so you can change the tire and be available.

01:41So, there will be a remuneration in summer, in winter and next summer so that those plants adhere

01:51and recover the amount that is being drained by our hands because of the issue of Atucha,

01:58because Atucha has been standing still for 30 months.

02:02Well, here is what Chirino, the Secretary of Energy, somehow contradicts Guillermo Franco,

02:10who was the one who introduced the issue on the agenda, right?

02:12Yes, what he is proposing is, we are putting together, it seems to me that there was a short-circuit between them.

02:18Franco spoke of the reduction of service and of course, what do we all think?

02:23We imagine a scheme like the 80s.

02:25Yes, well, those who live in Villacrespo reduce from 8 to 10, they have cuts.

02:31We imagine that. What was the government putting together?

02:34It was putting together a voluntary device for companies, where the companies that consume the most,

02:42basically the industrial ones, can voluntarily, we insist, agree with the government,

02:48and the government compensates them economically so that they produce a little less.

02:51This is what the government is proposing, we have to see if they are like that.

02:54Who is right? Franco or Chirino?

02:58Well, it is clear. Let me greet Walter Martelo, who is a defender of the people of the province of Buenos Aires,

03:03who is waiting for us at the end of the year. Defender Facundo Pastor greets you. How are you?

03:12Let's see if I can hear him. Well, then give me what the head of the cabinet Guillermo Franco said, let's see.

03:21If a very hot summer comes, there may be a very high demand for electricity,

03:28and unfortunately, as you know, there have been no investments in recent times,

03:35with which there will be a lack of generation, and there will have to be a cut,

03:41especially to make some agreements with the productive sectors, the industrial sectors.

03:47It is a situation that has been going on for years, and that must be faced, let's say seriously,

03:53and we have to face eventualities, one cannot be subject to improvisation,

04:01and I believe that the energy secretary is working on this issue.

04:04Well, there the contradiction is exposed, between one and the other.

04:08Yes, Walter Martelo, what he raises is, I don't know if we have it now, we will have it in communication, but he answered him, well, he is ...

04:18Martelo Facundo Pastor, in A24, how are you?

04:21How are you, Facundo?

04:23What information do you handle from the province? What is going to happen?

04:27No, well, we handle the official information, a warning from CAMESA from three months ago,

04:34where I was just foreseeing everything that the head of the cabinet announced two days ago,

04:41two days prior to that announcement, there was another from the director González,

04:47who was assigned in some way a sui generis in energy, denouncing,

04:53and now the energy secretary denouncing the head of the cabinet himself,

04:57which shows what we have been manifesting, right?

05:01That during these nine months, the energy sector of the government of President Milley

05:06has dedicated itself to direct an internal, in function of power relations,

05:13within that segment so desired, let's say, for any government,

05:19forgetting what was happening, what could happen precisely with the alerts

05:24that they themselves had concluded in the technical reports of CAMESA, right?

05:30In addition, the second of that body sends the president of the body a public report

05:37in a dispute that is not understood, but that has, let's say,

05:40the whisper of all users of the electricity service of Argentina with a view to the summer.

05:46Walter, Pablo Vinocur greets you. I want to ask you, because for people it is impossible to understand this,

05:52because there are four components that the bill has, that is, the generation, that is, the distribution, that is a mess.

05:59With the increase that there was in the last time, in the last year,

06:03how did we get to this situation in December?

06:06Because they did nothing more than increase.

06:08I mean, you notice that within the increase, in the resolution of February,

06:13where the increase is obtained, which today users are seeing in the ticket,

06:18they lowered the demand for investment from 37 to 25%.

06:23You ask yourself how? If it was not that we came from a process of disinvestment,

06:27why don't you increase the rate, why don't you increase the investment?

06:30Well, that's what Walter, in the middle, what the user does not understand.

06:33If it increased, and everyone increased, and suddenly ...

06:37Sure.

06:38I mean, where did that stop?

06:40Well, near the companies, clearly.

06:43Let's put, let's say, an absolutely clear example, which is the one of Edesur.

06:48Edesur was going to leave the country, you will remember that they announced that they were leaving

06:52because they did not have profitability here.

06:55Finally, they stayed because they had a 400% increase.

06:58Now, did they improve investment with summer views?

07:02No, clearly not.

07:04And what is going to happen, which I think the government is taking into account,

07:07is that the social friction of having the cuts that we have been having systematically

07:13for many years, as a result of that lack of investment,

07:16this time it will be aggravated by the very high level of the component that has

07:23what you pay in light, in your family income.

07:28I mean, you notice that it is determined that a family is in energy poverty

07:34when 10% of their income is dedicated to the payment of services.

07:38If you add light, gas and water, many of those families today are condemned to energy poverty.

07:43And that ends up being a very, very delicate social climate in the summer.

07:47Walter, but in general there was always an agreement,

07:49even the previous government also recognized that the rates were very late.

07:54So, what is the fair and correct rate?

07:59No, the rate, we in the government, the stage that I had,

08:03we increased the transport rate and the distribution rate.

08:08What happens is that we never did it above the salary variation coefficient.

08:13I mean, I didn't have frozen rates, that's a fictitious story.

08:18In the last 15 months, we increased almost 80%.

08:21And so everyone invested. I had very serious problems.

08:24In fact, I had to report Edesur in court.

08:27The fair rate, obviously, is the one that guarantees the correct service to companies.

08:34Now, two basic questions we have to ask about that.

08:38Companies have always had resources.

08:41There was already the rate, as I was going to say, which was delayed,

08:45but which was compensated for by subsidies.

08:47To them, the money, to call it in some way, was entered the same way,

08:51via state or user.

08:54The investments were not made.

08:57What you can't do is, in that rate update process,

09:04increase the rate by 400% and 50% of the salaries or income.

09:10There is the serious distortion.

09:13Good.
