The Senate will analyze the PL 2.458 / 2022, authored by senator Alessandro Vieira (PSDB-SE), which alleviates the electricity bills of properties with farming family that use energy from solar microgenerators.
The bill also aims to benefit units whose holder is ed with the CadÚnico (Single Registry for Social Programs of the Federal Government).
Among other measures, the law guarantees tariff subsidies for consumers who invest in autonomous production using micro or mini generators from renewable sources. With this benefit, they do not pay the full cost of using the distribution network.
The proposal expands these subsidies until 2045 for family farmers and CadÚnico participants who invest in solar photovoltaic generation.
“It is appropriate to emphasize the benefits of this measure: consumers with lower purchasing power will have a reduction in their electricity expenses and family farmers will spend less to produce their products”, he explained.
Furthermore, he emphasized that the production chain associated with photovoltaic s will employ more people and the Brazilian electrical matrix will become cleaner.
The PL is still awaiting the order that will determine which thematic committees will analyze it. The order will also say whether it will need to go through the Plenary or whether the committees' deliberation will be the final word. If approved by the Senate, the text will go to the Chamber of Deputies.
