SAO PAULO (Reuters) - A privatization bill for state-controlled Brazilian power company Eletrobras SA will be sent to Congress by early November, the country's mines and energy minister said on Friday, sending the company's shares up almost 3%.
"I plan to deliver this project to Congress in person," minister Bento Albuquerque told reporters on the sidelines of a power auction.
Alburquerque had previously said the bill would be sent to Congress in October.
