Q & A Highlights

Q: Can you explain the rationale behind submitting a bill to turn Cemig into a corporation before the approval of a prior related project? Also, is there any update on Taesa's stakeholder situation? A: The decision to submit the bill is a strategy from the controlling shareholder, Minas Gerais administration.
