Chamber Commission Approves Inclusion of Consumers Who Produce Solar Energy in Electric Energy Consumer Councils, Modernizing Sector Governance.

The Mining and Energy Commission of the Chamber of Deputies approved a bill that expands social participation in the electricity sector and recognizes the growing role of solar energy in the country. The proposal includes the so-called prosumers — consumers who also produce energy — in the Electric Energy Consumer Councils.

These users, in addition to consuming electricity, generate their own energy, mainly through distributed generation systems with solar energy panels. With the approval, the segment now has direct representation in the bodies that discuss tariffs, supply quality, and consumer rights.

Bill Amends Legislation and Recognizes New Reality of the Sector

The approved text is the Bill No. 1,554/2022, which promotes changes to the Law 8,631/1993, responsible for regulating the participation of consumers in councils linked to the electricity sector. Until now, these councils represented only traditional consumers, divided into categories such as residential, commercial, industrial, rural, and public power.

Change Prevents Disputes and Keeps Up with Market Evolution

Additionally, the deputies approved a significant amendment to the text. The part that provided for the link of the councils’ composition to Aneel’s tariff classes has been removed. In practice, this change ensures greater flexibility in the system.

With this adjustment, consumer representation automatically tracks the transformations in the electricity sector. Thus, new user profiles, such as solar energy producers, can secure seats on the councils without the need for new legislative changes, reducing the risk of legal disputes.

A significant part of prosumers uses solar photovoltaic energy, a modality that has been rapidly growing in Brazil, especially in homes, businesses, and rural properties. The inclusion of these users in the councils is seen as an important step to balance discussions in an increasingly decentralized sector.

With direct representatives, these consumer-generators will be able to contribute to discussions that are more aligned with the reality of distributed generation, addressing specific challenges and opportunities for regulatory improvement.

Bill Moves to the Constitution and Justice Commission

After approval in the Mining and Energy Commission, the bill will move for analysis, in a conclusive manner, by the Constitution and Justice Commission (CCJ) of the Chamber of Deputies. If approved, the text will still need to pass through the Federal Senate to then become law.

The expectation is that the advancement of the proposal will keep pace with the growth of solar energy in Brazil and reflect the evolution of the profile of electricity consumers in the country.
