According to reported by Solar Channel, a new base text for PL 5829 (Bill no. 5829/19), which aims to create the legal framework for DG (distributed generation), was filed in the early afternoon of this Monday (5).
“After the presentation of the first opinion, I received several contributions from parliamentarians that motivated the writing of this second text”, stated the rapporteur of PL 5829, federal deputy Lafayette de Andrada (Republicanos/MG), to the report of Solar Channel.
Among the changes is the installed power limit to comply with the transition rule, which previously was 200 kW and in the new text is now 500 kW.
In return, remote self-consumption systems above 500 kW of installed power would pay the entire TUSD Fio B, plus 40% of TUSD Fio A and the tariff charges TFSEE (Electric Energy Services Inspection Fee), R&D (Research and Development) and ONS (National Electric System Operator). Another change is that distributed microgeneration and minigeneration projects will have the legal status of self-production projects.
The proposal maintained the determination that photovoltaic systems already installed or that the request for an access opinion is made up to one year after the publication of the Law, continue to benefit from the current rules for 25 years from the date of the system's entry into operation.
The new text also maintained the systems transition rule regarding the payment of Fio B. To consult the new base text of PL 5829 Click here.
