3:48 pm: Deputy Carlos Zarattini (PT/SP) speaks about the proposal. He is in favor of the report presented by Lafayette. “The new substitute text allows subsidies to be compensated for the benefits achieved over the years by the expansion of solar energy in the Brazilian energy matrix, which is very good and correct (…) The subsidy only makes sense if it compensates for a possible increase in the cost of this solar energy. From the moment you obtain benefits for the energy matrix and make it cheaper, it is fair that this is compensated precisely in solar energy subsidies”, he said.
3:50 p.m.: Parliamentarian Paulo Ganime (Novo/RJ) comments on PL 5829 and highlights the benefits of renewable energy. “The project is going in the right direction. The rapporteur managed to find a good balance in this text. We are in favor of the text”, he stated.
15:53: Deputy Erika Kokay (PT/DF) comments on investments in the electricity sector. “It is important to encourage photovoltaic solar energy”, he highlighted. “There is currently a water crisis in Brazil, in which a substantial and vigorous increase in energy tariffs is expected in the coming years. In that case, what is the responsibility of this parliament? Photovoltaic energy must be encouraged!” he emphasized.

Brazil wins, those who invested in solar energy win and captive consumers are preserved”, he said.
