O RING (National Clean Energy Institute), through the Connection Working Group, delivered this Monday (2) to the ANEEL (National Electric Energy Agency) a report with the aim of seeking solutions for the advancement of distributed generation in Brazil.
The document collected information from consumers who own MMGD plants (distributed micro and mini generation) about the problems experienced in relation to the connection of the projects.

“GD, in recent years, has consolidated itself as an important alternative for captive consumers interested in generating their own energy, resulting in high growth in the modality and a consequent generation of jobs in several Brazilian states, due to the dispersion of exploration. of distributed generation”, said the text.
“However, despite the regulation of part of the connection procedures by the ANEEL, we have not yet observed a pattern in practice. Therefore, it has become common to observe several problems experienced by consumers accessing the connection of their MMGD centers”, they pointed out.
As a result, the group organized the main problems reported, separating them in relation to each distributor analyzed, suggesting, in the end, possible changes and solutions so that one of the objectives of the GD Legal Framework can be fulfilled (Law 14.300 / 2022): “the adoption of standardization in the MMGD connection process by all distributors”, highlighted INEL.
