In addition to guaranteeing the exemption for future bills, the decision also covers consumers who had already paid the tax.

"We will have a meeting with a state representative who wants to champion this discussion and turn it into law so that we are not dependent on decrees and do not again run the risk of being charged ICMS (a state sales tax) on electricity generation," he concluded.
