The Brazilian government enacted the long-awaited Law 14.300. The regulations have established a new regulatory framework for the distributed generation segment, which encompasses all renewable energy power generators under a net metering system smaller than 5 MW in size. More than 8.4 GW of Brazil's 13 GW of installed grid-connected solar capacity comes from this segment.
From 2023, the new laws will launch a new net metering regime, which means that PV systems installed this year will be exempt from the grid tariffs that will be implemented in January 2023. Despite the change, these grid fees will continue to ensure a respectable degree of profitability for Brazilian prosumers and will be steadily increased over time.
