Four of the main associations in the renewable energy sector held a breakfast with parliamentarians at the Federal Senate in Brasília (DF) on Wednesday morning (1st), to reinforce the urgency for Brazil to move forward with the creation of the Legal Framework for Energy Storage.
The meeting was organized by ABSAE (Brazilian Association of Energy Storage Solutions), ABGD (Brazilian Association of Distributed Generation), ABSOLAR (Brazilian Association of Photovoltaic Solar Energy) and ABEEólica (Brazilian Association of Wind Energy).
The initiative brought together authorities and representatives from the energy sector with the aim of strengthening dialogue with senators and accelerating the approval of the amendments on storage presented to MP 1304/2025, which deals with the modernization of the electricity sector.
Furthermore, the associations presented three application models for storage: batteries coupled to generation, to the transmission system and directly to the consumer in DG (distributed generation) — the latter being considered the fastest way to be implemented in the country.
According to data presented during the event, the country wasted more than 12 TWh of renewable energy in 2024, which could generate losses of up to R$5 billion in 2025.
The ONS (National Electric System Operator) is already projecting a structural power deficit from 2026 onwards, with the risk of insufficient demand being met from 2028 onwards. In this sense, the associations argued that the creation of a legal framework is essential to:
- Reduce waste of renewable energy;
- Increase energy security;
- Reduce costs — remembering that activating thermal plants can cost up to seven times more than battery systems (BESS);
- Attract investments — with an expected investment of up to R$77,2 billion in the sector by 2034, reaching 71,8 GWh of installed storage capacity in the country.
According to the organizers, only a law can offer legal certainty and predictability to unlock long-term investments in storage, ensuring greater competitiveness and sustainability for the Brazilian electricity system.
