Aneel’s Proposal Changes the Rules of Distributed Solar Energy Generation in Brazil. Association Strongly Criticized This Possibility of Change

According to information from the Brazilian Association of Photovoltaic Solar Energy (ABSOLAR), only 0.6% of the Brazilian population uses solar energy in their daily lives. This number is very low for a tropical country, where the figures could be even higher. However, if the numbers are already low, the new proposal from Aneel may halt the growth of clean energy use in the country.

The idea behind Aneel’s new proposal is about distributed generation. Aneel’s proposal was seen as yet another factor that could hinder the growth of clean energy in the country. Rodrigo Sauiaa, CEO of ABSOLAR, stated that Aneel’s proposal contradicts the association’s previous statements that they would wait for the approval of the legal framework currently under discussion in Congress before making any changes to the rules.

”The producer supplies energy to their neighbors and doesn’t receive cash, but rather credits for electricity consumption. Today this exchange is one-to-one. However, according to the agency’s new proposal, they would only receive back 43% of what they lent. It’s a disincentive”, said Rodrigo in a piece in Miriam Leitão’s column in O Globo.

Rodrigo also stated that due to the legal uncertainty caused by Aneel’s proposal, this case will certainly affect investments in solar energy. He highlighted that in the past year, the distributed solar energy generation segment was responsible for injecting R$ 11 billion into the country’s economy, in addition to generating 75 thousand jobs in the field.

ABSOLAR’s Thoughts on the Subject

ABSOLAR advocates for the establishment of a legal framework for the generation of distributed solar energy in Brazil. This is reflected in bill 5829/2019, with the report by Congressman Lafayette Andada. The association understands that the terms of the project are the best way to maintain legal certainty and not discourage energy in the country.

ABSOLAR’s Thoughts on the Subject

Libya built over 4,000 kilometers of underground pipelines to bring water from the Sahara to coastal cities in a project that the government itself called the Eighth Wonder of the World.

Desert sand, previously discarded for being too smooth for concrete, becomes an ecological brick in the United Arab Emirates, dispensing with Portland cement, curing at room temperature, and attempting to transform dunes useless for construction into raw material for a new arid engineering.

He transformed an abandoned plastic water tank into an underground house in the “hobbit hole” style, using only repurposed pallet wood, without heavy machinery or expensive labor.

Toyota launches “family hybrid van” with 7 or 8 seats, 1.8 hybrid engine, fuel consumption of up to 23.8 km/l, and a price equivalent to about R$ 104,000 without taxes, below the Tiggo 8 Pro Plug-in Hybrid sold in Brazil: meet the Noah Hybrid 2026 in Japan.

China transforms desert-devastated area into the world’s largest artificial forest, planting trees for 60 years, blocking sand that reached Beijing, and creating a “green lung” of 92,000 hectares in a region once considered lost.

With 70 tons of rock removed by hand and an 800-year-old abandoned cave, a former businessman transforms a dark shelter into a modern home carved in the heart of the forest.

Scientists have created a material six times lighter than air, 75 times lighter than styrofoam, and that becomes stronger the more it is compressed: aerographite seems impossible, but it can reinforce structures, batteries, and satellites.

A mother of four sought a safer family environment, watched tutorials on the internet, built a 325 m² house with her family, and learned foundation, walls, plumbing, and electrical work without any professional experience.

Trump administration entered the fray to defend Elon Musk’s xAI in a lawsuit over data center turbines, air emissions, affected communities, and national security in the United States.

Brazilian fintech unexpectedly closes office, lays off dozens via video call, and leaves employees insecure while the company denies mass layoffs.

Brazilians build modern houses 10 minutes from Disney, with luxury finishes, 3 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a $227 condo fee, and potential for Airbnb, targeting investors who want to use the property in Orlando and rent it out when they are not in the United States.

Largest investment per capita in Brazil: city receives R$ 1 billion in sanitation, invests 322% above the national average, and gains a new ETA capable of supplying an additional 1,270 liters of water per second.

Brazilian scientists are simultaneously advancing two research projects on clean hydrogen and driving solutions that could transform the energy matrix, enhance industrial competitiveness, and accelerate large-scale emission reduction targets.

Advancement in renewable energy: A R$ 150 million project launched by Petrobras and Finep aims to create state-of-the-art electrolyzers for green hydrogen, strengthening national research and preparing Brazil to compete in a billion-dollar energy market.

Illiterate or semi-literate grandmothers were trained to repair solar systems, open rural workshops, and light up homes that still depended on kerosene.

The world has bet on green hydrogen as the fuel of the future, but now faces the side effect: producing 1 kilogram requires about 9 liters of ultrapure water, and the largest projects on the planet are precisely in the driest regions of the Earth, where water is already scarce for people.

Africa has about 500,000 cell towers and most still burn diesel to operate, while companies rush to cover antennas with solar energy and avoid signal blackouts.
