The month of July began promising a season of intense debates on the energy sector in the National Congress. Despite the delay in installing the joint committee – which will analyze the provisional measure for the reform of the electricity sector (MP 1.300/2025) – the two Legislative Houses kicked off a series of public hearings related to the topic, which should continue even before the parliamentary recess.
The start took place this Wednesday (2), at the CME (Mines and Energy Commission) of the Chamber of Deputies, where a debate on the insertion of storage systems in the electrical matrix lasted almost four hours.
The meeting brought together representatives from various areas of the sector, including the MME (Ministry of Mines and Energy); ONS (National Electric System Operator); ANEEL (National Electricity Sector Agency); EPE (Energy Research Company); ABRAGE (Brazilian Association of Electric Energy Generating Companies); ABGD (Brazilian Association of Distributed Generation), ABSOLAR (Brazilian Association of Photovoltaic Solar Energy); ABSAE (Brazilian Association of Energy Storage Solutions); and INEL (National Institute of Clean Energy).
These groups and other entities are expected to exchange new ideas in Brasília (DF) in the coming days. This is because the CME has already scheduled a public hearing exclusively with the Minister of Mines and Energy, Alexandre Silveira, next Wednesday (9), at 10 am. The objective is to discuss the content and impacts of MP 1.300/2025.
At yesterday's hearing, representatives of the associations argued that the bill – whose text has already received more than 600 amendments from members of parliament – should become a legal framework for the sector. The CME is also expected to hold new meetings to discuss initiatives such as the 2034 Ten-Year Energy Expansion Plan (PDE) and mechanisms to strengthen regulatory agencies. Energy storage within the scope of the SIN (National Interconnected System) will also be on the agenda.
Senate
The Senate's Infrastructure Committee (CI) will look into the impact of budget cuts on eleven regulatory agencies, including ANEEL and the ANP (National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels). Another public hearing planned is to discuss the effects of curtailment in the electricity sector, focusing on contractual impacts, tariff charges and consequences for the consumer.
