The Joint Committee of the National Congress approved this Thursday (30) the report of MP (Provisional Measure) 1.304/2025, authored by Senator Eduardo Braga (MDB-AM), by 22 votes in favor and two against.
The proposal now goes to a vote in the plenary sessions of the Chamber of Deputies and the Federal Senate, where it needs to be approved by November 7th to remain valid.
The bill proposes a broad overhaul of the regulatory framework for the Brazilian electricity sector, with measures ranging from the revision of subsidies and charges to the inclusion of new rules for distributed generation (DG) and incentives for energy storage.
Impact on distributed generation
After strong pressure from entities in the solar sector, Braga made adjustments to the preliminary text he presented last Tuesday (28), removing the charge of R$ 20,00 for every 100 kWh compensated for microgeneration systems close to the load. The exemption, however, did not extend to minigeneration or remote self-consumption.
Maintaining this rate for a large part of the distributed generation segment continued to be the target of criticism from entities and professionals in the solar sector, who stated throughout Wednesday (29) that the measure discourages investments, harms green jobs and creates legal uncertainty in the sector.
Conversely, the text was approved with measures included by parliamentarians to benefit coal and biomass-fired power plants, but without the mandatory contracting of natural gas plants.
