The approved text therefore mandates that electricity distribution concessionaires and licensees in the state must inform consumers and solar energy generators, in a clear and detailed manner, of the amount of energy injected into the grid, the active energy consumed, the surplus balance, and other information stipulated by law.

Great, it's worth migrating to other regions, for example, Pernambuco, where communication with the Neoenergia Pernambuco concessionaire is very difficult.
