Survey shows an impact of R$25 billion/year by 2050 on the cost of energy due to the bill. Renewables have a shorter competitiveness period.
O bill (PL) to regulate offshore wind farms may be impacted by tortoises, which are excerpts that do not concern this matrix. Luiz Barroso, former president of the Energy Research Company (EPE) and CEO of PSR, states that such undue inclusions can increase inflation and reduce the competitiveness of the industry, which concerns the sector.
According to a survey by PSR Soluções e Consultoria em Energia, presented at a meeting that brought together sectoral entities, the amendments in the bill could have negative consequences for the regulation of offshore wind farms. The impact of these addenda could compromise the efficiency of the sector and harm the development of this energy matrix.
The impact of 'undue inclusions' in the PL on the energy matrix
According to the analysis, the measures included in the bill will have a significant impact on the energy cost for consumers. It is estimated that these undue inclusions will cause an increase of R$25 billion annually until 2050, totaling a value of R$658 billion over this period.

Legislative interference and its amendments in energy planning
The expert interviewed in the study stated that the processing of the bill represents interference by the Legislature in a task shared by the Ministry of Mines and Energy and EPE, which is carrying out the country's energy planning.
The impact of amendments to the PL on thermal plants and renewable energy
Among the criticized amendments, the hiring of thermal plants to natural gas inflexible and the postponement of the deadline for renewable energy generators to obtain subsidies, which are pointed out as a cause of great direct impact in the cost of energy. The individual impact of each of these amendments by 2050 is estimated to be considerable. The amendments in question are:
- Recruitment of UTEs inflexible natural gas: R$ 155 billion
- Postponement of deadline for renewables to come into operation with subsidies: R$ 113 billion
- Specific contracting of PCHs: R$140 billion
- Postponement of the deadline for MMGD to start operating with subsidy: R$ 101 billion
- Maintenance of the operation of UTEs mineral coal: BRL 92 billion
- Construction of hydrogen plant: BRL 28 billion
- Extension of Proinfa contracts: R$24 billion
- Specific hiring for wind farms in the South: BRL 5 billion
