Distributed Mini-Generation Projects Will Have Tax Benefits According to New Energy Policy, with Regulatory Norm Establishing Public Consultation.

The Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME) published, on this Wednesday (1/17), the ordinance that opens the Public Consultation regarding the procedures for generating companies to request classification of distributed mini-generation projects under the Special Incentives for Infrastructure Development Regime (Reidi).

The epbr agency anticipated in December that the government planned to put a draft regulation for public consultation regarding the article of the Law 14.300/2022 that establishes distributed mini-generation projects as priorities for receiving tax benefits. The initiative aims to boost the generation of clean and sustainable energy throughout the country, contributing to the diversification of the energy matrix and the reduction of carbon emissions.

Public Consultation to Regulate Distributed Mini-Generation

The regime grants exemption from PIS and Cofins on the purchases of new machines and equipment, provision of services, and construction materials, but the delay in regulating the text created barriers for businesses to achieve classification, and generators started to resort to the courts to obtain the incentive.

The public consultation will be open for 30 days, starting today (17), and will receive contributions on the draft ordinance defining the steps to be followed by generators to request the classification of their projects under the Reidi.

The classification request must be made to the electricity distribution company to which the consumer unit is connected. See the draft here

It also indicates, among other points, the reference limit for investments in distributed mini-generation plants to receive the benefit, which varies according to the energy source.

For photovoltaic solar (including floating) and thermal (all types, including qualified cogeneration), the limit is R$ 4,000/kW of installed capacity. Hydropower (CGH) has a limit of R$ 5,000/kW, and wind power R$ 4,500/kW.

Procedures for Generating Companies of Distributed Mini-Generation

The Soviet Union spent 22 years drilling into the Earth’s crust and reached a depth of 12,262 meters — they found water where it was thought impossible, hydrogen bubbling from the rock, granite that is 2.7 billion years old, and temperatures of 180 degrees that melted the drill bits.

Egypt wants to draw 10 million cubic meters of water from the Nile per day into the desert, irrigate a new agricultural frontier, and build a city where there is currently only sand.

BRICS is preparing a payment system inspired by the Brazilian PIX that will allow direct transactions between countries using national digital currencies without relying on the dollar or Western banks as intermediaries.

Ethiopia has banned gasoline and diesel cars, placed over a hundred silent electric buses on the streets of Addis Ababa, and now aims for half a million electric vehicles by 2030, all powered by Africa’s largest dam and a courage that few countries have shown.

Stored for over 100 years, the first underwater tunnel in Latin America receives a decisive boost with a loan of R$ 2.5 billion signed in April and promises to connect Santos and Guarujá, on the coast of São Paulo, in just 5 minutes.

A brand that has been manufacturing motorcycles since 1901 launches its first electric model, and the price shocked the world: $3,000, weighing only 124 kg and accelerating from 0 to 60 km/h in 3.7 seconds…

Giant turbines on the seabed of Scotland have been generating clean energy for nearly a decade without interruption, and now the big promise is that tidal power could solve the biggest problem of solar and wind energy: the unpredictability that no one has been able to overcome until today.

Brazilian scientists assembled a “climate time machine” in the heart of the Amazon to fill trees with future CO₂ and discover how much the planet’s largest forest can withstand before changing forever.

With 1 trillion yuan in investments, China is creating from scratch a “city of the future” almost the size of London to relieve Beijing and transform the project into part of the legacy of supreme leader Xi Jinping.

The sea may advance faster than imagined: a 1-meter rise in ocean levels could leave up to 132 million people below the waterline, while a flaw present in over 99% of coastal analyses suggests that the real risk is already being underestimated.

A love letter written 540 years ago reappears thanks to artificial intelligence and reveals a surprising story of passion, family conflicts, a dowry dispute, and difficult choices that challenged the rules of medieval England.

SpaceX admits that the idea of taking artificial intelligence servers into space could run into something simple and inevitable: the laws of physics, which make the project more complex than it seemed.

Europe has never produced so much clean energy at the start of a year — 384.9 TWh of renewables in the first quarter of 2026 broke all records, and fossil generation fell to its lowest level.

For the first time in history, solar and wind energy supplied more electricity than all global demand growth — and fossil generation fell to its lowest level in 100 years.

Renewable energy surpasses coal for the first time and marks a historic turning point in the global electricity sector

Climate change should be combated by solar and wind energy — but extreme heat reduces the efficiency of panels, violent winds shut down the turbines, and extreme rainfall floods entire power plants.

130 kilometers off the coast and with 260-meter-tall turbines, the world’s largest offshore wind farm is being assembled on the bottom of the North Sea — when complete, its 277 turbines will generate energy for 6 million homes in the United Kingdom.
