Distributed Generation and the Compensation System for Electrical Energy in Brazil - Schmidt, Valois, Miranda, Ferreira & Agel - Advogados Associados
Distributed Generation and the Compensation System for Electrical Energy in Brazil
Distributed Generation (“DG”) is characterized by electric power generation systems located close to the energy consumers, regardless of the technology, capacity or energy source used. Nevertheless, it is more commonly found with renewable power sources up to 5MW –according to the Brazilian regulations.
The National Electric Energy Agency(“ANEEL”) has regulated two types of DG (both of which must necessarily use renewable energy), namely: (i) distributed micro-generation – where installed capacity is less than or equal to 75 (kW); and (ii) distributed mini-generation – for plants with installed capacity above 75kW and less than or equal to 3MW, for water-based sources, or 5MW for other sources.
Among the advantages of DG, we can highlight the reduction in the need for investments in expanding the distribution and transmission of energy systems, the low environmental impact, the improvement of the network tension level during heavy load periods and the diversification of the energy matrix. On the other hand, there are disadvantages such as the increase in complexity of the energy network operation system and the difficulty of charging for the use of the electric system.
The aforementioned disadvantages, however, have not proved obstacles to the exponential increase of DG systems installed in Brazil, which, by mid-January of current year, had already passed the mark of 7,000 connections, according to the Brazilian Association of Distributed Generation. The state of Minas Gerais, to date, has emerged as the largest user of DG and photovoltaic solar energy is the most used energy source.
One of the great advantages arising from ANEEL’s regulation (ANEEL Normative Resolution No. 482/2012) of DG is the so-called Electric Energy Compensation System (“System”). The System allows the surplus energy generated by a consumer unit connected to the DG network to be fed into the distributor’s network, which will store that extra amount of energy.
Whenever the energy fed into the network is greater than the amount used, the consumer will receive an energy credit, valid for up to 60 months, which can be used either to offset the charges of power of another unit held by the consumer in the same concession area or to offset the amounts charged on invoices in subsequent months.
The DG can be operated in different ways, in the benefit of either a group or a sole consumer, involving one or more consumer units. The growth of DG in the near future is extremely promising. So, the advance in regulation, as well as its development in practice, is fundamental to the development of the Brazilian energy policy.
