At an Eneva and Poder360 event, the president of the Chamber defends a review of the fund and prioritizes energy storage to stabilize the sector
The president of the Chamber of Deputies, (União Brasil-PB), stated this Wednesday (November 5, 2025) that the (Energy Development Account), the main fund that finances subsidies in the electricity sector, has reached a critical point. According to him, the charge, paid by all energy consumers, has become “unfair and priceless on the part of the people who need it most”. He argued that the country “put your finger in that wound” and reevaluate the CDE costing model to ensure sustainability and tariff fairness.
The statements were made during the seminar “Energy and regional development: convergence for the Brazil of the future”, held by with support from Poder360in Brasilia. Motta stated that Congress took a relevant step with the approval of the PLV (Conversion Bill) of the MP (provisional measure) for the electricity sector, but said that the rising costs of the CDE represent a structural threat to the stability of the system.

For the deputy, the debate on energy in the country needs to move from the distributed generation phase, consolidated by the 2022 law, to a new stage: energy storage. He classified the topic as the “next big challenge” of Brazilian energy policy.
“We have enormous capacity to produce clean energy, but we need to guarantee balance and security for the system”he stated. According to Motta, Brazil still faces situations in which it is necessary to turn off wind and solar generators due to a lack of storage mechanisms.
The congressman said that, although gas thermoelectric plants and other fossil fuels remain essential to provide stability to the grid, storage is the structural solution to make the expansion of renewables compatible with security of supply. “Reconciling clean generation with efficiency and stability is the path to a more modern and competitive electrical system”he declared.
The president of the Chamber also said that modernizing the electrical system is essential for Brazil’s competitiveness. “There is no way for the country to be competitive with an inefficient and unbalanced system. We need to guarantee predictability and fair costs, to attract investments and transform our energy potential into real development”he declared.
