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.

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

A British company has installed in the middle of the ocean the world’s first floating platform that generates electricity 24 hours a day from the temperature difference between the surface and the depths of the Atlantic, without relying on wind or sun.

Great Atlantic Sargassum Belt has ceased to be a climatic phenomenon and has become a biological system that feeds on itself, with 8,000 kilometers in length, 37 million tons of algae, and scientists confirm that it is now permanent.

China is building an artificial island in the middle of the sea, covering 20 km², to construct the largest offshore airport in the world, the Dalian Jinzhouwan. This $4.3 billion project is anchored on more than 3,000 pillars embedded in the rock beneath the ocean and is scheduled to open in 2035.

A robot named Walter does the work of five bricklayers per hour and can save the construction industry, where the average age of professionals is 46 years and almost no one wants to learn the trade anymore, in the United Kingdom.

Engineers had to pour concrete mixed with tons of ice throughout entire nights in the Dubai desert to erect the Burj Khalifa; any carelessness could clog the pipes half a mile high.

The James Webb telescope spotted a planet 700 light-years from Earth with mornings full of sand clouds and nights with clear skies, the temperature difference between the two hemispheres reaches an impressive 170 degrees.

Physics has been challenged: researchers have discovered something that moves faster than the speed of light, but the phenomenon does not break relativity because it involves dark patterns within optical vortices.

Europe is “frying” with records: United Kingdom records 35°C, France reaches 35°C, and Spain and Portugal face heat close to 40°C in May as a heatwave advances across the continent.

On the other side of the planet, a Brazilian doctor operates on a patient in Porto Alegre while being in China, almost 19,000 km away, using a surgical robot that responds in 200 milliseconds in a procedure that seems like science fiction.

China outpaces Elon Musk with Unitree humanoid robot available on AliExpress for $6,800, with free shipping and international delivery, turning billionaire technology into something anyone can buy online.

Lula says that the Brazilian naval industry will “thrash” China and Korea, while the government announces billions for barges, pushers, and a new hydro terminal in the Amazon.
