Distributed Generation (DG), driven mainly by photovoltaic systems, has established itself as a significant advance in the Brazilian energy matrix. However, the current compensation model (net-metering), by allowing the use of energy credits outside the time they were generated, creates an economic distortion that ends up penalizing precisely consumers who do not generate their own energy - in many cases, those with the lowest purchasing power.

A technical and legally feasible proposal suggests the adoption of intraday billing cycles, which would limit the use of credits to the same period in which they were produced, while respecting the real value of energy throughout the day. This change would significantly reduce cross-subsidies, stimulate conscious consumption, and help balance the electrical system, promoting a fairer and more efficient energy transition.
Estimates indicate that the subsidy paid by non-generators would fall from R$ 11.5 billion to R$ 7.0 billion per year, with a direct impact on Brazilians' electricity bill.
Understand how this solution can benefit the entire industry and why it needs to be urgently discussed.
