The public call from the Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME) got a total of 32 suggestions from bodies and companies in the electricity sector regarding the process of valuing distributed energy generation in Brazil, aiming to contribute to an expansion of this generation model in the coming years .

The Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME) has 32 suggestions from companies and organizations in the national electricity sector for the valuation process of distributed generation of energy in Brazil. After the conclusion of the public consultation for the receipt of contributions on July 15th, the MME investigated all the suggestions and disclosed the main information regarding the contributions of agents such as Inel, Abrace and ABGD.

The Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME) recently announced that it received a total of 32 contributions from agents in the national electricity sector to improve the process of valuing distributed energy generation in the country, after the completion of the public consultation to receive suggestions for bodies and companies in the sector.

The opening of the public consultation by the MME to receive suggestions for valuing distributed generation took place on June 23rd and the deadline for delivering contributions was until the 15th of this month of July. This public consultation is a result of Law 14.300/2022 passed in January, which removes subsidies for self-generation, preserving the current rules until 2045 for systems already installed, and should strongly contribute to the sector.

This is because, seeking to compensate for the withdrawal of incentives, the new legal framework for distributed energy generation in Brazil designated 18 months for the National Council for Energy Policy (CNPE) and Aneel to establish guidelines and rules for valuing costs and benefits, and the electricity sector was able to contribute with its suggestions to make this process even more efficient.

Check out the main suggestions from agents in the electricity sector submitted to the MME for the process of valuing distributed generation in the country

Among the main companies and bodies in the electricity sector that participate in the public consultation process for the valuation of distributed generation, the Brazilian Association of Distributed Generation (ABGD) was the most present in the process and presented twenty propositions for analysis by Aneel. Among them were suggestions on how to speed up the process of energy digitization; value energy and food security; in addition to guaranteeing the universalization of energy.

Another highly relevant national electricity sector agent, the Brazilian Association of Energy Traders (Abraceel), contributed to the public consultation on the energy and suggested, among his contributions, the promotion of “correct signage for consumers”, thus ensuring more awareness in the consumption process of distributed generation, contributing to the growth of this market.

The Association of Large Industrial Energy Consumers and Free Consumers (Abrace) suggested, among its contributions, the reduction of the cross-subsidy between consumers who have distributed generation and those who do not. The Brazilian Association of Photovoltaic Solar Energy (Absolar) also made its contributions, including disclosing all the extra costs present in the electricity bill and assessing the reduction of risks associated with changes in fuel prices and the exchange rate.

The Brazilian Association of Electricity Distributors (Abradee), Brazilian Institute of Consumer Defense (Idec), EDP, National Institute of Clean Energy (Inel) and the Renewable Energy Forum were also present at the public consultation on the electricity sector. .
