The text of the social tariff of electricity has yet to pass through the Senate; The application of the measure has an estimated cost of 3.6 billion r $ per year
Brasilia – a Chamber of Deputies Approved on Wednesday 17, with 423 votes at 36, the provisional measure focused on the expansion of the social tariff, a program baptized “Luz Do Povo”. The text that fixes the tip of electricity At 17.1 million families, in government calculations, they still have to pass through the Senate. The parliamentarian has a conservation duration until 11:59 am on Wednesday. The application of the social rate has a cost of 3.6 billion dollars per year in the energy development account (CDE).
This cost would be compensated for the feasibility of other proposals provided for in the initial version of the provisional measure, including the opening of the market for residential consumers. However, after the lack of consent, the camera voted for a slender version of the text, adding other sections or modifying the writing of some articles (see under the details).
The free total in the electricity bill, already in force, is for monthly consumption of up to 80 kilowattora. The public are Cadúnico families with monthly income in half a per capita minimum wage, people with disabilities or the elderly for the benefit of the constant installment.
THE National Electric Energy Agency (Aneel) He has worked with distributors to adapt operating systems, configuring the billing systems to allow the new model of the social rate. That is, if the MP expires, there will be a logistical problem, as well as legal.
MP 1,300/2025 was initially called “electricity reform”. The showcase is the tip of electricity for low -income families, but the text sent went further and has faced the pressure for cutting precisely because it was dealing with different sizes in one.
In his report, the speaker and federal Federal Fernando Coelho Filho (União-PE) have removed all the other topics with the prospect of structural changes, including the proposal to open the free market for low voltage consumers, as well as the proportion of consumption distribution in the payment of CDE, at the level of volume level.
One of the most commented changes in the sector, also withdrawn, was the idea of putting an end to the discounts on the tariffs of using electrical transmission and distribution systems, in particular for consumers of encouraged sources such as wind and solar. It is the “discount on The Wire” so called. Now, the extracts withdrawn by the rapporteur must be addressed to the provisional extent that sets a ceiling for the energy development account, under the speaker of Senator Eduardo Braga (MDB-AM).
What was in the text?
In the version approved by the Chamber, in addition to setting up the free electric invoice to 17.1 million families, the payment of CDE in the monthly consumption of up to 120 kWh should be exempted for the families of income per capita between vehicles and a minimum wages. The government estimates a reduction of about 12% in the energy reports of the beneficial families, since the CDE is part of the light invoice rate. These two social proposals have not changed in relation to the initial text of the government.
The voted version also continued to predict the distribution of costs with the plants of Alegra 1 among the consumers of the National Interconnected System (SIN), with the exception of low -income consumers. An extract was also held with specific rules for rural consumers in irrigation and aquaculture activities, with hours previously agreed. According to the speaker, the idea is to promote “efficiency” in the use of energy for this activity. The irrigation allowance is criticized within the government’s economic team.
Section addition
The version of the temporary measure approved by the house came with an article that allows the renegotiation of installments due to the use of the public good (UBP). Rhinestiary is the bid-based hydroelectric dam based on a 1998 law. Deputy Fernando Coelho Filho (UNIão-PE), representative, said this month that the Union could have a tax impact of up to 20 billion dollars in case of non-regulation of payment costs for the use of public goods by hydroelectric systems.
According to him, there is no extension of the plants of the plants, but only the renegotiation of the contracts that had been made through IGP-M and would have been delayed. If some of these concessions were returned, the union would have a tax impact on the payment to the generators. In addition, the measure can collect more than $ 6 billion from CDE, which would be destined to reduce consumer rates, according to the topic presented by the deputy.
If the text passes through the changes to the Senate, the Chamber will have to make a new evaluation. By provision of the regiment, the presidential sanction should not necessarily be Wednesday. The deputy was approved in the house in the form of adopted amendment, that is, with reduced text. The house has started appreciation of the salient points and the text could still have changed articles.
