A Câmara dos Deputados approved, on Tuesday night (27), the emergency regime to a bill that aims to prevent the growth of power plants distributed micro and minigeneration and Free Energy Market in Brazil. 

To proposal (PL 4831 / 2023) has as The objective is to limit the insertion of GD (distributed generation) in the area of ​​activity of distributors of electrical energy, so that, after reaching this limit, concessionaires are no longer obliged to provide connection points for new consumers. 

O document also seeks to limit the Free Energy Market 30% of distribution network usage, even making contract renewals unfeasible. The text was written by federal deputy João Carlos Bacelar (PL-BA). 

O Canal Solar not only reported the deputy's initiative, in October last year, as well as highlighting that the parliamentarian's justification for presenting this proposal was that the growth of these two markets could “kill death” the concessionaires of the public electricity distribution service.

With the urgency request approved for this bill, the The expectation is that the text will go to the Plenary and get voted by other parliamentarians throughout the month of March. 

What is an emergency regime?

O urgency regime is a mechanism widely used in the legislative context to allow the acceleration of analysis, discussion or voting on proposals and bills. 

In practice, this is a tool used in situations where it is necessary to make a decision quickly. The need for an urgent application may arise due to unexpected events, crises, the need to meet urgent demands from society, among other reasons.

Agreements being made

In an interview with Canal Solar, Heber Galarce, president of RING (National Clean Energy Institute), said that the entity has been following all bills that create an impact, mainly negative, on the clean and renewable energy sector. 

According to him, the institute has already opened negotiations with deputy Bacelar to discuss a more qualified understanding of the subject and highlighted that the institute will be in Brasília (DF) this week with deputy Lafayette de Andrada, president of FREPEL (Mixed Parliamentary Front for Clean Energy), for further discussions on the topic. 

"We are in the negotiation process and discussing merit adjustments. We have good expectations of changing this”, He highlighted.

  1. It is important to pay attention to the part of the text that says: “… after reaching this limit, concessionaires are no longer obliged to provide connection points for new consumers. “. This means that energy companies are not prohibited from denying connection requests. Almost all, if not all, have a subsidiary that offers the same photovoltaic plant design and installation service. In practice, they will create a monopoly in each concessionaire where only the concessionaire's subsidiaries will have projects approved.

  2. Today's existing means of producing renewable energy fulfill the role of guaranteeing clean and safe demand for electrical energy throughout the world. Parliamentarians who defend the limitation of this industry are going against the path chosen by developed countries. Brazil does need a policy that guarantees the supply of abundant and safe electrical energy, as well as avoiding monopolies in the supply of an extremely necessary good to the population.

  3. I think this fight that the Brazilian authorities are waging with
    Small solar energy companies
    This country is really going against the grain of the world, but concessionaires are setting up photovoltaic solar plants without
    Any problem like
    For example, I demolish this CEMIG YES
    the country is out of control and the tendency is for us to become Venezuela, I think this will be the end of solar energy in Brazil
    Because in Brazil everything that comes to benefit the population is cut and prohibited, the population has to always live as slaves to this system commanded by this thief Lula.
    We are lost and underpaid, unfortunately I have a small company and I have managed to survive until now, but I know how long I will last because Cemig only approves for large companies.
    With the lie of flow inversion, he harms the population of Minas Gerais out of greed, and St ZEMA is the big villain in this case, he is involved in these Cemig issues because he wants to dominate solar energy in Minas Gerais, shameless goat.
    Let's campaign against your candidate
    ZEMA NEVER AGAIN

  4. I would like to know what criteria Congressman João Bacelar used to submit a document like this??? The population has the right to choose to buy services from whomever they want. This is not a dictatorship (at least not yet). Even in China, there are more than one manufacturer of solar s, inverters and cars that you can choose to buy. I believe that this gentleman has bad intentions and is in collusion with the distributors in limiting the growth of Solar Energy. In a tropical country like ours, where we could export energy, where companies would have lower costs to produce cheaper products, we would all win. But no, there is always the interest that a few have to have a lot.
    I would like to know where the idea for this project came from, Mr. Deputy? At the very least, you defend the Concessionaires, since you are only concerned about them. None of them are poor or experiencing financial difficulties and they still receive from the Federal Government. They have annual adjustments guaranteed in their contracts above inflation.
    Brazil is on the verge of total bankruptcy. Several jobs and companies were created, the federal government itself regulated solar energy through law and now this man wants to limit its growth.???
    Emergency Regime::???
    As the text itself says: The need for an urgent request may arise due to unexpected events, crises, the need to meet urgent demands from society, among other reasons.
    How much did you earn, Deputy, to want to approve this urgently??? What are the justification numbers for this?
    Present it to the population.

  5. This is not the way forward for a country that wants a sustainable energy policy. I believe that the use of alternative sources can only benefit the population in a global way. Since we use solar energy we will save a lot on the use of WATER, which is very important today. As always, favoring investors without worrying about the population.
