Abstract

Many countries have been adopting policy approaches to stimulate small-scale distributed generation. In this scenario, in 2012, the Brazilian Electricity Regulatory Agency published the first regulatory framework on a net metering scheme for small-scale generators. In 2015, a first framework review was finished when new business models for virtual net metering were introduced. Projections then indicated that installed power could reach significant levels by 2019 while accomplished numbers were continuously exceeding estimations. Consequently, a second major review was scheduled. The paper presents the recent developments of small-scale DG in Brazil and its regulatory framework evolution. Motivations for the second general review and an overview of its main aspects are also highlighted.
