When the subject is the regulation of Law 14.300, some doubts are emerging in the sector. For example, What is TUSDg for group B? As Are resolutions 482 and 687 still valid? After all, the investment in solar DG remains profitable even after the law comes into force?

In addition to these, another question that has raised doubts is whether Is it possible to change the Access Opinion equipment and maintain the pre-14.300 rules? O Canal Solar talked to Abradee (Brazilian Association of Electricity Distributors) who answered this question.

“Whenever the changes their MMGD (distributed micro and mini generation) equipment, they must inform the distributor. In cases involving changes in installed power, the provisions of the art. 26 of Law 14.300/2022 about the portion of increase in power”, they explained.

According to the entity, in cases where the is in the connection process, the distributor will evaluate whether or not the exchange of equipment changes the connection budget issued. If so, the must submit a new access request.

In this sense, Abradee reinforced that, as established in art. 6 of 14.300, “the commercialization of access opinions” (connection budgets), directly or indirectly, is expressly prohibited.

“In the same way, as provided for in art. 29 of the Law, 'microgeneration and distributed minigeneration are characterized as the production of electrical energy for own consumption', and its commercialization, directly or indirectly, is not permitted”, they concluded.

  1. Regarding change of address. I can take equipment from one house to another without losing the rights acquired before the new taxation

  2. Good afternoon everyone.
    What happens when we have the project approved but we haven't purchased the equipment yet? I have this case, where a customer is going to buy from a certain brand, but I have another manufacturer with the same quality for a price lower enough for us to think about buying from this supplier. If the difference was small I wouldn't even think about it, but the difference is good. I have the 5k + 8 550w modules project approved by EDP, but I have another budget in which I can include labor in the payment for the material and the value is the same as the material in the approved budget. In this case, would it be possible to maintain the powers without having to request changes to the project?

  3. Good afternoon, ask me a question, my system was approved in 2020, that is, according to the previous rule, I would like to know, if I sell my house and request to change the address of my plant, would I lose the rules that are in force in my contract?
