A bill has been introduced in the National Congress that proposes ending the charge for using the grid (Fio B) on surplus solar energy injected into the distribution system.
In practice, Bill 1.438/2026 proposes changes to Law No. 14.300/2022, which established the Legal Framework for Distributed Generation in the country. Current legislation establishes... tiered billing for network usage for consumers with distributed generation.
The new proposal, coordinated by Congressman Francisco Costa (PT), with the support of the Piauí delegation, seeks to eliminate this charge on surplus energy.
"The exemption from fees was guaranteed only for the pioneers who filed their requests by January 2023, creating an asymmetry between consumers in equivalent situations," the text explains.
According to the document, all energy injected into the grid would be fully converted into credits, without any discounts being applied. The proposal, therefore, seeks to reinstate the rules prior to [previous regulations]. Legal Framework for Distribution.
Before proceeding to a vote in the Plenary, the proposal will still be analyzed by the thematic committees of the National Congress.

The utility companies receive clean energy without paying a penny! At most, they charge a small fee for infrastructure and resolve outstanding issues such as flow reversal.
That's right! Let's break up the electricity sector to help Chinese suppliers…. Excellent to see that people here ignore curtailment and continue to think it's a great deal to put solar into the system. Congratulations on the well-done lobbying. Keep applauding the madman's dance and see where we end up. In the end, everything becomes a burden that falls on the people… congratulations to those involved.
It's a good bill, but I'm worried it might just be a boon in an election year. I've seen good bills receive so many hidden clauses that, when approved, it ends up worse for the consumer. That is, if it isn't, in some distorted way, deemed unconstitutional by the judiciary later on.
Great news! We will restore social justice for small business owners.
In addition to eliminating the existing asymmetry, it's necessary to discuss the fact that the energy injected into the grid generates income for the concessionaires at no cost, since it is sold to the next consumer connected to the grid, and the distributor paid nothing for this energy that it is selling.
Instead of focusing on fixing the mess of the reverse flow, they're trying to remove a charge that guarantees the health of the sector.
