ANEEL confirms solar energy as a priority for the next two years

Agency reveals that study to value DG attributes will be taken into consideration in the 2022 and 2023 Regulatory Agenda

A ANEEL (National Electric Energy Agency) held a webinar this Thursday morning (16) with the aim of clarifying more information about the 2022/2023 Regulatory Agenda. When asked by the report of the Canal Solar, Rodrigo Fernandes Braga Coelho, chief of staff of the Agency's director general, stated that the study of valuation of GD attributes Solar (Distributed Generation) will be prioritized and taken into consideration.

“The Agency will deal with the issue of distributed generation and the regulation of the remaining items that were not possibly addressed in the bill [PL 5829], which was approved in the Chamber [of Deputies], and is now going to the Senate”, he said.

Coelho highlighted, however, that the Agency is awaiting approval of the proposal in the Congress and the presidential sanction to “immediately regulate the points covered by law and those that have not been addressed, but which are the responsibility of the regulatory agency alone”, he stressed.

About

The webinar promoted by ANEEL focused 100% of the time on explaining the schedule adopted by the company to define the topics that will be prioritized in 2022 and 2023. The entity did not mention topics other than solar, but pointed out that they will be defined at the end of the year, after contributions from society.

Recently, the Agency opened a space on its website to collect suggestions about the regulatory processes that should be a priority for the Brazilian electricity sector in the next two years. Interested parties have until September 29th to submit proposals, using the contribution form, available here

During the event, Coelho highlighted that the suggestions will be analyzed and divided into two groups: the priority agendas will be delivered in 2022 and the indicative ones – which in the company's assessment have a lower degree of relevance – only in 2023.

Schedule

After the deadline for considerations, the ANEEL will analyze the items submitted and prepare the Regulatory Agenda for the next two years in October. On November 3, the company's board of directors will meet, and on November 12, a public hearing will be held to announce the action plan. The eventual approval of the document by the entity's directors is scheduled for early December.

    With water resources becoming increasingly scarce, I hope the government will help this sector by reducing taxes and encouraging this resource that the sun offers us for free.

  • Assis Marques

    We hope that these proposals and regulations will benefit users who have chosen to install solar energy capture for use in their work environments and homes, since it is connected to the electricity grid.

    Truth Sílvio R. Sakata,
    Since February/21 I have a solar system and I am satisfied, hoping that
    our leaders don't come and tax us, because we produce solar energy only for our own consumption (residential).

    I am a residential user of solar energy producing 16 panels of 410 w each for my own use.
    I hope that the competent bodies analyze and give priority to residential users who managed to make it through a lot of sacrifice and paying the installments to have this system that is of great value.

  • Helio Eduardo HESB

    The performance of the ANEEL. Always on the side of the dealerships and against Brazil and Brazilians.
    This is not a time to tax, but rather to encourage growth in the number of solar production, which would greatly help in the growth of the solar matrix.
    ANEEL advocates in favor of the distributors. The people can go to hell

    As long as they do not harm the user of electricity once again, since they have invested their own resources and ALREADY pay for the use of the electricity company's resources. The sun, like the oxygen we breathe, is a natural resource for every human being. Enough of being taxed by this gang that only thinks about their own financial gains.

    Energy concessionaires could also work as financial institutions and thus increase their profits by giving consumers the opportunity to install photovoltaic modules in their homes. Everyone would be happy and with good deals closed. This financing could come from the energy bills themselves, making banking bureaucracy easier.

  • Silvio Roberto Sakata

    We hope that regulation is the most favorable to the solar sector, an essential market for Brazil and which will certainly bring balance to this energy crisis!

  • AUGUSTO MARTINS

    I just hope that these greedy governments don't load up on taxes like they did with fuel and electricity itself. Please do not impose taxes on renewable and clean energy.

  • Denise Regina Siega

    The water crisis made it clear to the Agency that it has to adapt and create new alternatives for energy generation. Solar energy is still the best option we have. The technology has already been mastered and the cost has proven to be satisfactory, as long as the government does not start to make the service unfeasible with abusive taxes.
