The CME (Mines and Energy Committee) of the Chamber of Deputies reported that it will hold a meeting next week with the rapporteur of PL 5829/19, deputy Lafayette de Andrada (Republicanos-MG). The proposal aims to create the Legal Framework for DG (distributed generation). Therefore, a public hearing will not be held, as requested by deputy Danilo Forte (PSDB-CE).
Ao Canal Solar, Andrada said he believes the substitute bill should be voted on next week. “The following schedule was established: next Thursday (8) or next Tuesday (13) the substitute bill will be presented at the CME. Next week, on Wednesday (14) or Thursday (15), we will vote in the plenary,” he said.
At the beginning of the week, a note released by the parliamentarian's office also highlighted that there is great pressure for the vote on the proposal to take place.
According to the congressman, the approval of the text will “democratize the use of solar energy in the country”. It is worth remembering that the PL had already been discussed in plenary session, but ended up being removed from the agenda due to the Covid-19 pandemic. According to Andrada, it is necessary to approve the regulation for DG because “specific legislation” for the sector is still missing.

Currently, the ANEEL (National Electric Energy Agency) is the one that regulates the installation of micro and mini DG systems through resolutions – which, according to the deputy, creates legal uncertainty. However, there are other deputies who want to debate the proposal in the Chamber.
