Solar Energy To Be Taxed By The Federal Government Together With Aneel
Solar energy became a topic for the Federal Government and Aneel last week. The government is reacting to the possibility of the National Electric Energy Agency (Aneel) changing the rules for consumers who have, for example, solar panels at home and face the risk of taxation. The changes have been referred to by the president himself as a kind of “tax on the Sun”.

– I talked to Rodrigo Maia and Davi Alcolumbre about the solar energy taxation proposed by ANEEL. The President of the Chamber will put a bill to vote, urgently, PROHIBITING THE TAXATION of solar energy. The same will be done by the President of the Senate. Case closed. Good morning to all!

A proposal for change by the Federal Government and Aneel in the regulatory resolution on solar energy 482 of 2012 from the National Electric Energy Agency (Aneel) has generated controversy in the productive sector. This is because the agency wants to withdraw some benefits from those who generated their own energy, claiming that there are costs, unlike when the measure was implemented.
On the other hand, many companies and rural producers who began to invest in this type of solar energy claim that the taxation generates legal uncertainty, as Aneel promised predictability for 25 years and the investments were long-term.
Aneel, in an interview with the Gazeta do Povo website, states that it has technical reasons to propose the charging of fees on distributed generation. This modality was allowed through a resolution from Aneel itself, published in 2012. With it, Brazilians began to have the possibility to generate their own electric energy, usually from renewable sources like the Sun.
Current Solar Energy Resolution
Drafted in 2012, the agency’s measure states that the consumer or rural producer can both consume and inject into the distribution network the electric energy produced by them.
This difference between what they consume and what they produce in excess turns into credit and can be used for the deduction of one or more electricity bills of the same holder.
Furthermore, the Federal Government’s proposal offers benefits to incentivize the self-production of electric energy, such as the exemption from the payment of tariffs for using the electric grid and also from the payment of other components of the electricity bill.

In contrast, these incentives offered to those who produce their own energy are charged to all consumers, including ‘regular’ users who receive energy only from the distributor.
