Key features to support revenue/reduce cost: The government periodically runs public bidding for the sale of energy to the country´s distribution companies. The three power plants controlled by Brasventos won the public bidding that took place in 2009, by offering an average tariff of US$ 76.5/MWh (BRL 153/MWh). The company was granted the right to take part in the government program called Regime Especial de Incentivos para o Desenvolvimento da Infra-Estrutura (Reidi). Companies selected to take part in this program were given tax cuts in the acquisition of capital equipment and construction material acquired both in the domestic and international markets (this incentive represented a cost reduction of about 9.25%). In addition, the company was allowed to use accelated depreciation methods of accounting for construction expenditures. Finally, the electricity sold by the company is not subject to sectoral taxes.
