Um bill (PL 4831 / 2023) filed with the Câmara dos Deputados want to limit by up to 10% 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 is written by the federal deputy João Carlos Bacelar (PL-BA).
A justification of the parliamentarian for this proposal is that, according to him, the growth of these two markets in Brazil can “deathly injure” dealerships of the public electricity distribution service.
“Seeking the economic-financial sustainability of the distributor, market stability is sought in the supply of electrical energy, so that predictability in the acquisition of electrical energy is guaranteed, avoiding both overcontracting and energy”, highlights the document.
Lack of clarity
Despite having as one of its objectives limiting the growth of DG in the country, the bill presented by the deputy does not explain what it's about the 10% limit for the segment of distributed micro and minigeneration.
This because, who reads the document can't understand whether this percentage limit is valid for a installed power in the distribution network ou if it's for consumer units.
The report by Canal Solar ed the parliamentarian's office to resolve this issue, but has not received a response to date.
Indignation
O text proposed caused surprise in associations and entities of the renewable energy sector such as RING (National Clean Energy Institute) and the MSL (Free Solar Movement), which classified the measure as harmful to the country's development and which goes against the expectations of job and income generation announced by the new government.
Gustavo Tegon, secretary of solar energy at INEL, points out that the proposal as it stands, restricting jobs, income and more investments by citizens in their own energy generation systems, should not have the of other parliamentarians.
Already Hewerton Martins, president and founder of MSL, adds that the bill in question is a setback to the democratic process of granting access to cheaper energy for consumers.
“The text goes against the development of digital markets for consumer energy consumption that is taking place around the world. It is a proposal for the energy concessionaire”, he said.
For this reason, the MSL executive states that he does not believe that the bill will be approved by the other deputies. For him, the document has all the characteristics of a market monopoly.
“MSL does not believe in the progress of this legislation, which goes against the democratization of energy use”, he commented. “The deputy did not note that today the main players in distributed generation and Mercado Livre are companies linked to the economic groups of the energy concessionary proposals”, highlighted Martins.

Excellent statement, Hilton. This Congressman should be ashamed of the absurd size of his project, which clearly opposes everything that is happening in contemporary times, in which Clean Energy, the generation of jobs and income, and awareness for a world that is less aggressive to nature, are issues that are so necessary for our survival. Concerned about the “profit” of the Distributors? This is the so-called “heir of coronelismo”, totally dispensable in today’s world.
The congressman is clearly acting exclusively in defense of energy distributors and against the interests of society, which probably also helped him get elected. This attitude has a well-known name: LOBBYING, usually well-paid by those whom the honorable congressman intends to defend.
“Gustavo Tegon, solar energy secretary at INEL, points out that the proposal as it stands, restricting jobs, income and more investments by citizens in their own energy generation systems, should not have the of other parliamentarians”.
Mr. Gustavo, your observation is absolutely correct. These are the real objectives. For this type of politician, the worse the better. Carrying the Brazilian flag on their backs, they position themselves as patriots to attract ers and then create chaos and establish themselves as rescuers for the wronged. Believe. They became “myths”.
I think you have some kind of cognitive problem. The issue was not even considered going to the Supreme Court. What was said is that the RIGHT-WING conservatives represent a setback for the country's development. Congressman João Carlos of the PL (a right-wing party, Bolsonaro's party) is always against the country's development.
The case needs to be investigated to see if it is just another rachadinha scheme, something that some have been doing for years.
Good afternoon. Mr. Hilton Ferreira Magalhães expressed himself very well. The moment I started reading the report, exactly what Mr. Hilton said came to mind. I hope the STF does not interfere in this matter; those are a disaster for the country.
The far right in Brazil only defends the financial market and its agendas will always be at the service of the elite. The growth of GD affronts these interests.
This attitude of the congressman is absurd. Our Brazil needs to grow and develop, with quality of life for the population and, above all, reduction of expenses for residential consumers and also reduction of costs for companies and the agribusiness sector. Clean and renewable energy is the present and the future of this country. We cannot accept that someone elected by the people FIGHTS against those who put him in POWER.
This deputy is out of touch with the reality of the Brazilian people, with a very high salary plus something else, you know where, he wants the Brazilian people to continue being slaves, my contempt for the deputy who is not reelected, not even as a building manager, and who resigns as soon as possible because it is harmful to the country that urgently needs cheap energy with access for all.
This is his payment to the people who elected him, while the world fights for clean energy, the parliamentarian defends the empire of energy concessionaires. Taxation was no longer enough, now he wants to limit it.
This is an affront to common sense. This conservative and neoliberal congressman needs to be investigated to see if there is financing from the concessionaires and distributors to carry out this evil lobby. It is infinitely irrational and for him the concept so defended by his party colleagues is worthless. He needs to find out what is happening in the developed world, see in Europe, the USA and China. He knows nothing! He is a first-rate guesser. The responsibility of the above entities is to serve consumers with extreme quality. He forgets or pretends not to understand that we pay for the most expensive energy in the world. Why doesn't he fight to reduce the scorching taxes that are applied to the sector? This individual is a bad Brazilian and a sellout!
I completely agree with your opinion...this deputy is at the service of the dealerships, not of Brazil...
It is unbelievable how little knowledge the honorable deputy has about the size of the market today, involving thousands of companies across the country, generating employment and income for the population, in addition to investments in the order of billions of reais.
Not to mention the parliamentarian's ignorance in not considering that this is about generating clean and sustainable energy, which the country already clearly demonstrates in the percentages of its energy matrix.
I want to believe that there will be no progress in the Legislature, considering a minimum of common sense from the other parliamentarians.
It will be important for us to monitor the actions of this lobbyist, in the most pejorative sense of the word.
