Analysis of the Rapporteur in the Federal Chamber of PL 5829/2019 Resumes Idea of Taxing Solar Energy (Sun Tax)

The federal deputy Lafayette de Andrada, Rapporteur in the Federal Chamber of PL 5829/2019, which regulates the taxation of solar energy in Brazil, described the amendments proposed by organized civil society for the new PL as fair and balanced. This PL proposes that consumers can generate their own energy, benefiting homes and commercial buildings, but seeks to charge for solar energy generated by consumers and regulate the sun tax in the country.

Clarification from Hewerton Martins on the Bill that Taxes Brazilian Solar Energy

The then-President of the Solar Free Movement, Hewerton Martins, clarified in an interview with Sagres Sinal Aberto:

“It went through various discussions in 2019 when Aneel, the National Electric Energy Agency, proposed a 63% tax. Then Congress presented a bill, but this proposal was so balanced for consumers that on Monday there was a text change that now allows each person to generate renewable energy on their rooftops, which is very positive because it generates jobs in all municipalities across the country.”

Food Producers Are Against the Bill That Proposes Sun Tax

The Brazilian Association of Soy Producers (Aprosoja Brasil) expresses support for the campaign initiated by civil society sectors against the sun tax. Aprosoja Brasil has already expressed concern to President Jair Bolsonaro and to the Presidents of the Chamber, Arthur Lira, and the Senate, Rodrigo Pacheco, regarding the potential approval of such proposals and the need to encourage micro-generators in rural areas. The participation of solar energy in the total energy supply currently does not reach 1%. Therefore, it is the time to encourage this type of investment and not create disincentives.

The debate over the taxation of solar energy produced on rural properties is highlighted in the soybean sector due to the opportunity for solar energy generation in rural areas, whether for residential consumption or for the operation of silos and equipment.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

While the U.S. still faces limitations in deep space, China is developing unprecedented technology with strategic satellites that maintain communication with the far side of the Moon and aims for dominance by 2030.

With 7.4 trillion tons of artificial snow pumped in 10 years, an extreme operation could stabilize the West Antarctic ice sheet and prevent a sea level rise of more than 3 meters, but it would require snow cannons, ocean water, and energy on an almost industrial scale at the end of the world.

The Blood Falls of Antarctica hide a living ecosystem trapped under the ice for over 2 million years, where microbes survive without light, without oxygen, and without ever having seen the Sun.

In the Saudi Arabian desert, the world’s largest green hydrogen plant is 80% complete and will use 4 gigawatts of solar and wind energy to produce 600 tons of clean fuel per day when it opens in 2027.

The CEO of Honor in Spain says that smartphones will change with AI, foldables, and even robot phones; the component crisis is making cheap models more expensive in 2026 and shifting the focus to premium.

Goodbye to the traditional outlet: new technology arrives in homes promising to cut invisible waste, consume only 0.5 to 1.5 watts in standby, monitor consumption in kWh in real time, and automate devices that weigh most on the electricity bill.

Farmers are eliminating water scarcity in the fields, reviving springs, restoring degraded areas, and strengthening agriculture with over 48,000 seedlings planted in 33 hectares of degraded land, through a sustainable project that reduced expenses by up to 60% in energy and water consumption.

A couple of Brazilians drives a motorhome with a Brazilian license plate through the 4th poorest country in the world, crosses the border into Tanzania paying $90 in cash and nearly falls for a mandatory insurance scam.

Hong Kong leads the ranking of the most expensive fuel in the world and is suffering from a global crisis.

A 183-million-year-old fossil shines like gold inside black rock in Germany, but a microscope revealed that the golden shine is not pyrite as everyone believed for decades: it is phosphate, and the difference changes everything.

Every time a river flows into the sea, an amount of energy equivalent to a 120-meter waterfall is silently wasted, but Japan has just inaugurated the world’s first power plant that captures this waste and transforms it into electricity 24 hours a day without sun, wind, or fuel.

Silicon Valley bets on a 100-hour battery that uses carbon and oxygen to store renewable energy for days and could turn a little-known chemical system into an alternative to critical metal batteries to tackle prolonged blackouts.

Canadian engineers want to compress air in underground caverns and build plants of up to 500 MW that function as giant lungs to store renewable energy for hours and stabilize entire electrical grids.
