Key players include ANEEL (Agência Nacional de Energia Elétrica), the regulatory agency leading the consultation; the Conselho Nacional de Política Energética (CNPE), tasked with issuing valuation guidelines within 6 months of the law's sanction; and stakeholders like the Associação Brasileira de Geração Distribuída (ABGD), which funded a study showing each R$1 invested in MMGD adds R$1.60 to Brazil's GDP via reduced network losses, lower CO₂ emissions, deferred infrastructure, and resilience up to 70% penetration.[1][2][3][4] Law 14.300/2022 (Marco Legal da GD) drives the framework, mandating tariffs on energy consumed from the grid (excluding energy costs) with abatements for MMGD system benefits; contributions are open until March 4, 2026, via ANEEL's portal.[1][2][5]
This follows Law 14.300's 2022 enactment, with CNPE deadlines missed (due July 2022) and ANEEL's 18-month valuation timeline pending; it targets rules for GD II/III projects connected after January 6, 2023 (effective 2029), while pre-2023 projects transition to 2045 under current compensation.[1][2][3] International models from California, New York, and Australia inform options like MMGD-specific tariffs.[3]
Newsworthy amid rapid GD growth (mainly rooftop solar), which pressures tariffs, subsidies, and consumer inequality per CGU analysis. The consultation kicks off definitive post-2028/2029 modeling, balancing MMGD benefits against grid costs for equitable regulation.[1][3][4]
