Sérgio Moro: There is the prospect of that adjustment being granted — 19% this year and 7% the following year — but, look, these are percentages far above inflation and which reflect, according to what was reported at the hearing, the amount of investments Copel made during this period.
Sérgio Moro: But if that investment — as was revealed at the public hearing — did not generate an improvement in service quality for the consumer and, on the contrary, there was an increase in consumer complaints about the quality of that service, how can such high adjustment percentages be justified by that investment?
Let us not confuse the debate here either. Copel was privatized, and the debate is not about an opposition between a state company and a private company.
Sérgio Moro: The fact is that the company, even privatized, remains obligated to provide quality service to the people of Paraná.
Sérgio Moro: On the contrary, with Copel's privatization, what we expect is an efficiency gain that results not in higher profits and dividends for shareholders, but in higher quality of the service provided by Copel.
