"Energy transition is solar energy in the vein". TO affirmation was made by Minister of Mines and Energy, Alexandre Silveira, shortly before the opening of the 3rd meeting of the G20 Energy Transitions Working Group, headquartered in Belo Horizonte (MG).
O meeting of the G20 Energy Transitions Working Group had starting this Monday (27) and will last three days.
Until next Wednesday (29), representatives from member countries and guests will debate the social dimension of the energy transition towards more sustainable forms of energy. O minister was there to preside over the opening of the event.
In addition to Brazil, executives from the governments of South Africa, Germany, Saudi Arabia, Argentina, Australia, Canada, China, South Korea, United States, France, India, Indonesia, Italy, Japan, Mexico are also present at the G20 meeting. , United Kingdom, Russia and Turkey, in addition to the African Union and the European Union.
Before entering the event location, the minister spoke with local professionals (from the state of Minas Gerais) from the solar energy sector about the current situation of requests for distributed micro and mini generation projects.
They reported that Cemig (Minas Gerais Energy Company) has rejected 5 kWp projects with the justification of flow reversal and, at the same time, the energy distributor would be allowing the connection of plants from 1 MW to 5 MW in its area of operation.
In response, Silveira stated that it is well known that investments in concessions and transmission lines are delayed. “Now, we’re running with it. A Cemig really needs to speed up, because the photovoltaic energy is the vocation of Minas Gerais", said.
“We are here precisely to expand our energy transition. We contracted more than R$12 billion worth of transmission lines in Minas Gerais alone. A Cemig needs to speed up its investment plan, so that you [integrators of the solar energy sector] can continue working”, he added.
When asked abouthigh level of supervision of ANEEL (National Electric Energy Agency), the minister said that there needs to be greater rigor with distributors that hinder consumers' access to their own solar energy generation. “We have to start penalizing”, he emphasized.

The minister's speech is in line with the desires of professionals in the photovoltaic sector, this stance must result in effective actions to leverage micro and minigeneration distributed mainly in MG.
We have to be realistic with the truth because the generations are growing rapidly and generating energy we have to follow safety standards because there is no point in us wanting to throw energy into the networks and the networks are not prepared to receive it, so agent do you think the companies are going to invest millions on the networks and they don't win!!! Here's a tip.
