Brazil's government is considering the use of oil industry royalties to finance 7.5 billion reais ($1.4 billion) in cooking gas subsidies for poor families, Mines and Energy Minister Bento Albuquerque told Reuters on Monday.
He also said in an interview that next month the government expects to launch a program encouraging voluntary reduction of power consumption to cope with possible electricity shortages.
Albuquerque guaranteed that Petrobras, as the company is know as, will not assume the billion-dollar bill for proposed cooking gas subsidies.
