brazil potential , clean , renewable and cheaper source , that allows accumulate water for dry seasons , waterways , flood control , irrigation and gives reliability on the electric power generation system . Mr . Vivan recognizes that all sources of energy generation causes environmental impact , however “ the hydroelectric impact is lower than the one caused by other sources of electric power generation considered its potential and capacity of generation .” ABCE also presides the Electric Power Sector Environmental Forum – FMASE which is the main entity that discusses the environmental and sustainability issues before the Federal Government and the Nation Congress . ABCE states that some premises are indispensable to unlock investments in the Brazilian electric power sector as the legal stability ( to avoid frequent change of laws ), the fulfillment of contracts , the economic and financial contractual equilibrium , the adequate power electric tariffs and the predictability of the environmental licensing process . “ The Brazilian Federal Government has pursued electric power tariff reduction what is beneficial for population and favorable for the Brazilian industry competitiveness . Nevertheless , it is necessary to pay close attention to the fragile equilibrium between low tariffs and electric power generation security / reliability . The pursuance for the lower tariff at all cost avoids investments when the venture return does not compensate the business risk to invest ”, ends Alexei Vivan .
