THE LEGAL FRAMEWORK OF THE ELECTRICITY COMPENSATION SYSTEM - SCEE (NET METERING) - IN DISTRIBUTED SOLAR PHOTOVOLTAIC GENERATION
Energy Law; Law 13.400/2022; Distributed Generation; Electricity Compensation System
This paper analyzes the new Electricity Compensation System (SCEE) model in the context of the development of Photovoltaic Solar Distributed Generation in Brazil, based on Law No. 13,400, of January 6, 2022, and the normative resolutions published by the National Electric Energy Agency (ANEEL). The study also includes an analysis of the concept and the legal-constitutional aspect of energy policy and the energy transition from the perspective of renewable sources, especially solar energy, based on an investigation of the Brazilian energy and electricity matrices, with Distributed Generation itself as a mechanism for promoting these sources. It also discusses other regulatory mechanisms for promoting Distributed Generation in addition to the SECS in Brazil, highlighting their importance in the context of sustainable development. Finally, the impacts of Distributed Generation from the implementation of ANEEL Normative Resolution 482, of April 17, 2012, to the publication of Law 13,400/2022 are highlighted.
