Energy distributors want 70% reservation through PL 4831 for solar taxation, leaving entrepreneurs and installers of solar energy systems worried.
END OF SOLAR ENERGY? Energy distributors are now demanding, through PL 4831, 70% market reserve. This was the information released in recent days and it caused a lot of repercussion. However, this solar tax project is not recent, having been launched since the middle of last year and now the urgent request.
Understand how PL 4831 benefits energy distributors and it could be the end of solar energy
It is in the interest of energy distributors to hold 70% of the market, in other words, the companies want, with PL 4831 on solar taxation, that 70% of energy users electricity do not have the right to install a solar energy system and consume their own generation, with only 30% having this right.
When reaching 30% of customers with photovoltaic systems, energy distributors will deny any request for access for installation. Currently we have more or less 8% of users who have solar energy, that is, around 12 million projects that have already been installed. So when it reaches 30%, the objective of PL 4831 it would supposedly kill the solar installation industry.

In this way, the market would accept installations until a maximum of 2028 and from then on, energy distributors would prohibit installations to guarantee this 70% reserve.
Around 70% of users will continue to be captives, purchasing 100% from distributors and not being able to install any system. Sector experts, in relation to PL 4831 of taxation of the sun They state with complete certainty that nothing will happen to the segment, even if governments in general are not so supportive and are on the side of the energy distributors.
Experts say that PL cannot harm the solar energy sector
In 2019, when the taxation of solar energy began, there was the same concern that the solar energy sector would end and we have already reached 2024 even with the taxation. There was an agreement that was good for distributors and not so good for consumers, but it wasn't enough to 'kill the sector', which continues to do very well.
The market has carried out several installations across the country. Still according to experts, assuming that PL 4831 on solar taxation is approved, it will have to undergo changes.
Experts point out that the project will probably undergo changes during processing to reconcile the interests of different stakeholders such as the government, energy distributors and the energy sector. distributed generation, which includes solar energy.
These changes can mitigate the negative impact pointed out by critics of the project, such as restrictions on the growth of solar DG. In short, many of those who are there to defend will not accept 70%, however it is not known for sure how many percent will remain in the end.
Why can't solar taxation negatively impact the segment?
Even though energy distributors get a percentage from solar taxes, the solar energy sector will not be affected, as we will never be able to adopt 100% of energy users.
Not everyone can purchase solar energy systems on the roof for several reasons, the main one being the lack of space on the roof, the vast majority of the population has land available for installation and remote generation which is not very worthwhile.
This market reserve that the electric company is demanding will exist regardless of whether PL 4831 is approved or not, because not everyone will install solar energy. As a result, experts say that entrepreneurs and installers should not be worried about the approval of the bill.
Brazil is seen as a country of scams
Country of junk...nowhere in the world is there so much junk per square meter
Do the L
See which party the author of this PL is from, then even you will do the L
