Failure to comply with the Art. 73 of Resolution 1,000 by distributors has generated major problems to the photovoltaic system installation companies and for consumers who wish to generate their own energy. 

In general terms, the article allows concessionaires to reject project access opinions that could cause problems in the distribution network due to flow reversal. 

However, to be able to do this, the dealership must present one study of why the client's project is causing the flow reversal and bring the solution to the client so that the problem can be resolved, what, as the solar energy sector already knows, it's not happening. 

On this night Tuesday (06), O The subject was widely discussed among directors of the ANEEL (National Electric Energy Agency), with Various criticisms of dealerships being reproduced by the collegiate.

Ricardo Tili was one of the directors who criticized the performance of companies, especially Energisa-MT, which already has more than 4 thousand access opinions denied without justification to their customers. 

“If the distributors are unable to carry out the studies, they could not deny an access opinion (…) The situation that the distributor finds itself in today is frightening, especially in relation to GD”, he said. 

According to the director, It is “public and well-known” that the distributors not only are they failing to comply with the provisions of article 73 of Resolution 1,000, but also they are ignoring ANEEL's own determinations. 

“We (ANEEL) sent a letter telling them to comply with the standard, the distributor says they will not comply. The technical area issues an order stating that the standard must be complied with and the distributor responds, once again, that it will not comply”, he revealed. 

According to Tili, the ANEEL needs to be more rigorous in monitoring against distributors. “It is up to us to monitor and apply Aneel’s strength to demand compliance with the obligation. This is a point that we (directors) need to discuss better”, he said.

The director Fernando Mosna also criticized the attitude of distributors and said that it would be important for the Agency to listen clarifications from ANEEL's own inspection agents so that everyone can understand what is happening and what the country is experiencing in relation to these inspections. 

“It is being seen that distributors are not complying with the logic of the studies. I myself have already received dozens of emails from all over Brazil showing how the distributors' studies were carried out. Not only do they not categorize and qualify the denial (of the access opinion) but they make it impossible to have a counter-argument (from the consumer)”, he said. 

In addition to Tili and Mosna, Hélvio Guerra also expressed his opinion regarding the topic and ANEEL's actions in cases of flow reversal. 

“I thought dumbfounded, I thought amazed, I thought petrified. Because look, if a regulatory agency orders someone to do something and a regulated agent says they won't do it, and we do absolutely nothing, I'm petrified. Close the regulators, because we are not doing what we should be doing,” he said.

  1. and unfortunately that's the way it is in our country! Not even with the help of the Public Ministry Council, I managed to install Luz para todos!
    As they didn't even put the wires in the entrance post, I installed the Sun for All system, it brings light and no bills! Only Blue Sky here! Off grid system!
    It Works very well!

  2. A few years ago I retired from the sector. As a former Director of MME, I am surprised by so many things going wrong. I have been a supporter of solar energy since its inception in Brazil and what's more, because of these things we lost 7x1 to Germany (which doesn't have the sun we have). Each solar panel installed prevents future thermal generation and its consequences.

  3. CANAL SOLAR, IF THE CITIZEN, AND ONLY 8 TO 9 MILLION BRAZILIANS HAD THE CONDITIONS TO BUY AND INSTALL A SOLAR PV SYSTEM, IN A BRAZIL OF 215 MILLION, UNTIL THEN, BECAUSE THE PURCHASING POWER OF THE SOCIAL CLASS IN THE DISTRIBUTED GENERATION IS WEAK,

    AND IF IT WASN'T ENOUGH, THESE MAFIAS, OWNERS OF ENERGY DISTRIBUTION SYSTEMS, HAVE DONE EVERYTHING TO DISGRACE THIS NOVATION, SINCE 2012, AND THE GOODNESS OF GOD, KEEPING THE FAITH OF THE HELPLESS BRAZILIAN PEOPLE, WHO EVERY LACK OF RESPECT AND DIGNITY HAS TO SUBJECT YOURSELF TO THIS Scum,

    AND THAT NOW, EVEN FOR ANEEL, THEY SHARE AS IF THEY DID NOT EXIST, A FACT THAT IS IN FACT SCREAMING, THE SOFT BODY AND THE PSEUDO COMPLACENCE OF THIS ANEEL, WITH THE DISTRIBUTION MAFIAS, AS IF EVEN TURNING THEIR BACK, IN THE FACE OF SUCH SERIOUSNESS, UNTIL THEN,

    LET THEY CLOSE THE DOORS BECAUSE THEY ARE OF NO USE,

    AND THE JUDICIARY PUT THE DISTRIBUTORS, STATELESS, IN JAIL!!

    THE CABARET THAT THIS HAS BECOME, IT CANNOT CONTINUE!!

    WE FORGET THOSE CLASS ASSOCIATIONS, WHICH CHARGE THOUSANDS OF MEMBERS, AND IT'S JUST TALK, CONFETTI, AND NOTHING ELSE!!

    THOSE WHO RULE AND MOVE, AND MAKE THINGS HAPPEN ECONOMICALLY IN A NATION, ARE ITS PEOPLE!!

    THE TRUTH HURTS, BUT DAMN IT IF THIS BUNCH OF DISTRIBUTION CIAS, WHO BELIEVE THEMSELVES OWN EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE, FOR DECADES, PUSHED WHAT THEY WANT, GEL DOWN TO THE CITIZEN, AND ANEEL, NOTHING!!

    AND AS FOR YOU CANAL SOLAR, IF YOU THINK YOU SHOULD NOT PUBLISH MY COMMENT, I AM SINCERE IN SAYING TO YOU:: BETTER RE-EVALUATE YOUR LEGIMATE ROLE, BECAUSE SMALL TALK DOESN'T FILL ANYONE'S BELLY!! WE HAVE A BAG….FULL!!
