15:48 p.m.: Congressman Carlos Zarattini (PT/SP) speaks about the proposal. He is in favor of the report presented by Lafayette. “The new substitute text allows for compensation in subsidies for the benefits obtained over the years by the expansion of solar energy in the Brazilian energy matrix, which is very good and correct (…) The subsidy only makes sense if it compensates for a possible increase in the price of this solar energy. From the moment you obtain benefits for the energy matrix and make it cheaper, it is fair that this is compensated precisely in the subsidies for solar energy,” he said.
15:50 p.m.: Member of Parliament Paulo Ganime (Novo/RJ) comments on Bill 5829 and highlights the benefits of renewable energy. “The bill is moving in the right direction. The rapporteur managed to find a good balance in this text. We are in favor of the text,” he said.
15:53 p.m.: Congresswoman Erika Kokay (PT/DF) comments on investments in the electricity sector. “It is important to stimulate photovoltaic solar energy,” she emphasized. “There is currently a water crisis in Brazil, in which a substantial and vigorous increase in energy tariffs is expected in the coming years. In this case, what is the role of this parliament? It is important to stimulate photovoltaic energy!” she emphasized.

Brazil wins, those who invested in solar energy win, and captive consumers are protected,” he said.
