Experts in the sector emphasize that the transmission and distribution of electricity should not be confused with the product itself. The physical infrastructure for delivering this resource to the population should not be understood as an extension of what is being purchased.

Kaline Kiareli Pinheiro also commented on how this STF decision could adversely affect state revenue and the current energy market landscape.

For her, the potential harm to the population, which is improperly paying the ICMS charge on the products, is not being considered.

The decision is still under legal review, and the STF may provide further updates on the ICMS tariffs on electricity in the coming weeks.
