Brazil has shelved a proposal to open its nuclear power sector to private investors, according to Maurício Tolmasquim, the head of energy planning agency EPE. He said the government needed "to bide its time" before presenting a bill to that effect to congress. Nul;ear utility Eletronuclear, a unit of state-run Eletrobras, earlier this year called for "greater flexibility" to allow private companies to build NPPs in Brazil. "It would mean changing the constitution and we have to wait for the right moment," Tolmasquim told reporters. "This year is difficult. Constitutional change requires three-fifths of [congressional] support." However, he said the government remained committed to opening up the segment to private investors. "It's hard to expand under the current model," he said. "To build a nuclear plant now you have long lead-times and costs. I think it's really important to have a majority of private capital."
