A Aneel (National Electric Energy Agency) approved this Tuesday (2) the regulatory agenda for the 2026-2027 biennium, with the forecast of regulatory improvements related to opening of the energy market for low voltage in 2027. The forecast is for the so-called “Group B”, such as residences, small businesses and services.
The regulatory agenda deals with topics with the prospect of issuing standards during the cycle.
In November, Aneel’s general director, Sandoval Feitosa, said in a conversation with the Broadcast (Grupo Estado’s real-time news system) that next year the discussion will be intensified regarding the entire process taking place until the deadline of 36 months, which was legally established with the approval of the MP (Provisional Measure) of the so-called reform of the electricity sector.
The regulatory agenda approved this Tuesday also includes observability, operability and controllability requirements for RED (Distributed Energy Resources). In addition, there will be, in 2026, regulatory improvements for the management of generation surpluses in distribution.
The regulation of the so-called “Constrained off” of hydroelectric generating plants, in 2026, is another highlight, among other topics. The technical term refers to the restriction of operation by generating plants, via command from the ONS (National Electric System Operator). The restriction occurs for reasons originating external to the facilities of the respective plants.
