A Mines and Energy Commission da Câmara dos Deputados will promote next Wednesday (17), from 10 am, a public hearing to discuss the Normative Resolution No. 1.059/23 da ANEEL (National Electric Energy Agency), which regulated the 14.300 Law in Brazil.
This resolution was approved on February 7th of this year by the ANEELbringing changes nose rules about connection and billing of distributed micro and mini generation plants, with an authorization to charge three distinct components for the segment.
The debate meets the requests of deputies Eduardo da Fonte (PP-PE), Marcos Tavares (PDT-RJ) and Evair Vieira de Melo (PP-ES).
According to deputy Eduardo da Fonte, the new rules were not well received in the market. According to him, the ABSOLAR (Brazilian Association of Photovoltaic Solar Energy) claims that the resolution imposes a “triple charge”.
“According to the entity, the ANEEL is allowing s of the technology to charge for services that were not previously paid to distributors, which range from solar roofs on homes to small power plants, with up to 5 MW of power, to supply the consumption of companies. This harms small generating consumers and increases the return on investment period,” the parliamentarian pointed out.
In addition, the deputies also want to discuss a solar and wind energy production in Brazil, its importance in the composition of the energy matrix, the development and the need for modernization of the sector.
“The subject is extremely important, especially because there is already an approved law, and it is necessary to discuss the positive and negative effects, advances and challenges”, highlighted Tavares.
According to Vieira de Melo, despite the global relevance of this energy consumption model, it is not safe to rely solely on natural advantages. “It is imperative that public policy is an enabler of this process, which is both fundamental and irreversible”, he stated.
This Monday (15), the Chamber of Deputies released the complete list of guests for discussion with parliamentarians, among them are Carlos Mattar, superintendent of Regulation of Electric Energy Transmission and Distribution Services of ANEEL, and the president of ABSOLAR, Rodrigo Sauaia.
