Bolsonaro Is Against Aneel Taxing Solar Energy and Guarantees the Progress of a Bill Prohibiting the Taxation of Solar Energy in Brazil

President Jair Bolsonaro informed on his social media that the taxation of solar energy is the responsibility of the National Electric Energy Agency (Aneel), even though the government’s position is contrary. Solar energy will inject R$ 950 million and generate 4,000 job vacancies in Minas Gerais.

Bolsonaro also informs that he has the support of the Presidents of the Chamber Rodrigo Maia and of the Senate Davi Alcolumbre.

“As far as we are concerned, there will be no taxation of solar energy. End of story. Nobody talks in the government, except me, about this issue. I am not interested in opinions from secretaries or anyone else. The government’s intention is not to tax,” said Bolsonaro shortly before holding Aneel responsible if the tax is charged.

“Let it be clear that the one who decides this issue is Aneel, an autonomous agency whose members have a mandate. I have no influence over them. The decision is theirs. We in the government will not discuss this matter any further, end of story,” he added.

“I just spoke with Rodrigo Maia and Davi Alcolumbre about the taxation of solar energy proposed by Aneel. The President of the Chamber will put a bill to a vote, as a matter of urgency, prohibiting the taxation of energy generated by solar radiation. The same will be done by the President of the Senate. Case closed,” he states.
