In 2012, ANEEL (National Electricity Agency) brought an important innovation with the Normative Resolution - REN No. 482/2012 - the Net Metering System.
Since then, all surplus energy from micro and minigeneration plants can be transformed into energy credits, and thus reduce the amount payable in the customers' monthly energy bill.
ANEEL (National Agency of Electric Energy) publishes the Normative Resolution (REN) nº482 which establishes the conditions of access of distributed micro¹ and minigeneration² to the electric energy distribution systems, thus creating the Electric Energy Compensation System.
ANEEL extends and improves Normative Resolution 482 by means of REN 687, creating the modalities 'Shared Generation', 'Remote Self-consumption' and 'Condominium with GD', in addition to the already existing 'Generation at the Load'.
With this, the energy distributors start to allocate, in their respective concession areas, credits corresponding to the energy generated by the Generating Units to the monthly bills of the beneficiary Consuming Units.
Since then more than 800,000 systems and 7.4GWp of distributed photovoltaic generation have been installed in Brazil.
Law 14.300/2022 is enacted establishing the legal framework for distributed generation in the Brazilian electricity sector, establishing and consolidating rules for consumers to generate their own energy, especially new tariff rules and a transition period for existing projects. A positive law for the sector.
