Petrobras launches green destination model for decommissioning platforms
Given that 26 platforms are expected to be decommissioned, Petrobras intends to become a global reference in sustainability and safety, based on the green model established for the destination of these platforms.
The “Green Recycling Policy for vessels” of Petrobras was developed throughout 2022 and sought to implement environmental and human rights rules, in line with the best practices of the Oil & Gas industry and with the UN’s Universal Declaration of Human Rights. The new policy will be enforced as of 2023 for all floating platforms owned by Petrobras that are scheduled to be decommissioned.
As a result of the implementation of such policy, the company expects to expand its control over the recycling of platforms, reinforcing the activities to be carried out in accordance with ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) industry practices worldwide. The strategic planning of Petrobras provides for the investment of USD 9.8 billion in decommissioning activities over the next five years.
The procedures to be adopted by the company include:
a) Implementing measures to minimize waste generation, prevent impacts on biodiversity, reuse equipment, and foster the development of circular economy.
b) Mandatory recycling in construction sites equipped with dry-docks or waterproofed terrain with a drainage system.
c) Keeping count of the existing materials on the ship, so as to ensure proper development of a recycling plan by the shipyard.
d) Recycling the ship fleet in a safe manner, protecting the environment and the people that work in the recycling yards.
e) Considering quality certificates, requirements of the European Union Ship Recycling Resolution No. 1257/2013 (in the case of international shipyards) and operating licenses and compliance with applicable environmental, safety and workers’ health laws and regulations, including subcontractor management (in the case of Brazilian shipyards).
f) Acting in compliance with the commitments to which Petrobras is a signatory, including measures to battle corruption and abide by internationally recognized human rights.

ANP: Public Hearing addresses settlement agreement to terminate legal action over government shares in the Jubarte field
On February 15, 2023, Brazil’s National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas and Biofuels (“ANP”) held a public hearing on a draft settlement agreement to be entered into between ANP and Petrobras.
The agreement concerns the collection of government shares (participações fovernamentais) from oil production at the Jubarte Field, during a pre-determined period.
The litigation initiated due to the interruption in the collection of government equity payments, due to Petrobras’ failure to update the True Boiling Point Curve (PEV curve) for the Jubarte Field stream, an index that has a major impact on the reference price of oil.
In order to resolve this situation, the settlement agreement discussed at the hearing aims to terminate the legal action involved in the case. As agreed, Petrobras will carry out the payment of approximately BRL 780 million, adjusted according to the SELIC rate effective until the date of signature. Of the settlement amounts, 35% will be paid in cash, while the remainder will be paid in 48 installments, adjusted according to the SELIC rate.
The draft agreement must now go through consolidation and validation and will be subject to approval by the Collegiate Board of ANP, the Ministry of Mines and Energy (“MME”), and the Brazilian Office of the General Counsel (“AGU”).

STF decision determines taxation on electricity transactions
On February 09, 2023, the Federal Supreme Court (“STF”) rendered a decision regarding the Direct Action of Unconstitutionality (“ADI”) 7195 MC/DF, which suspended the effects of article 3, X, of Supplementary Law No. 87/1996, which provides for the tax levied by the States and the Federal District on transactions related to the circulation of goods and the provision of interstate and intercity transportation and communication services (“ICMS”).
As a result of this decision, transmission and distribution services and sectorial charges related to electricity transactions – that is, Tariffs for the Usage of Transmission and Distribution Systems (“TUSD” and “TUST”) – will now be included in the ICMS tax calculation basis.
Justice Luiz Fux, Rapporteur of the ADI, understood that “the Federal Government may have exceeded its constitutional power, interfering in the way the member states carry out their taxation duties” and that the legislative measure results in losses amounting to billions for the state and, consequently, municipal treasuries.

ANEEL Board of Directors implements planning and scheduling of PCS plants
On February 27, 2023, ANEEL Order No. 361/2023 was published, in which the ANEEL Board of Directors decided on the proposal of Brazil’s National Electric System Operator (“ONS”) to implement planning and scheduling processes for plants under the Simplified Competitive Procedure (“PCS”).
Such proposal was submitted due to the risk of restriction to the full generation order (under the regular operation system) of some plants that were selected as winners of the PCS, which does not hinder the commercial operations of plants with flow restriction, but affects the sales revenue due to the plant, proportionally to the restriction.
As a result, the ONS submitted proposals to address the problem and implement the planning and scheduling processes for the operations of these plants.
The Order established some measures applicable to CCEE and ONS, as follows:
- In case of an outflow restriction, plants under the PCS must have their generation reduced as a priority in relation to the other plants, whenever they cause higher costs.
- In case the generation of another plant is reduced due to a higher cost and as a result of a limitation in the capacity of energy flow by the transmission system, the payment of System Service Charges (“ESS”) will be assigned to the PCS plant, given that it is impossible to reduce the inflexibility amounts of plants under the PCS.
- The generation reduction or limitation of the PCS plant, resulting from restrictions on the flow of energy through the transmission or distribution system, will not affect the calculation of Equivalent Programed Outage Rates (“TEIP”) and Forced Outage Rates (“TEIFa”), under the terms of Normative Resolution No. 1,033, of July 26, 2022.

ANEEL regulates the Legal Framework for Distributed Generation
On February 10, 2023, the Brazilian National Electricity Regulatory Agency (“ANEEL”) published REN No. 1,059/2023, which regulates the Legal Framework for Distributed Microgeneration and Minigeneration (“MMGD”).
ANEEL’s regulation, which was eagerly awaited by the industry, regulates provisions of the Law, improves rules for connection and billing of distributed microgeneration and minigeneration plants (“Micro DG” and “Mini DG”) in power distribution systems, as well as the rules of the Electricity Compensation System (“SCEE”). Some key highlights regarding the rule are:
- Performance bond (“GFC”)
The GFC amount must be calculated according to the equation below:
| GFC = Percentage x Power x Price |
in which:
| Percentage |
|
| Power |
|
| Price |
|
Source: ANEEL
The accepted GFC modalities are:
(i) cash deposit;
(ii) public debt securities issued in book-entry form, upon registration in a centralized settlement and custody system authorized by the Central Bank of Brazil; or
(iii) bank guarantee issued by a bank or financial institution duly authorized to operate in the country by the Central Bank of Brazil.
- Generating plant division
The distributor is in charge of identifying these cases. If non-compliance is found:
(i) before the supply is initiated, the distributor should deny the adhesion to the SCEE and cancel the connection budget and contracts; or
(ii) after the supply is initiated, the active energy injected and benefits earned in the billing must be disregarded, or a review of the consumer units’ billing must be carried out.
In addition, the Superintendence of Distribution Services Regulations (“SRD”) was ordered to adopt measures to publicize ANEEL’s decisions about specific cases regarding the prohibition of the division of generating plants, in order to enable consultations on the subject by interested parties.
- Allocation of surplus energy from a tariff station
Without prejudice to the assumptions of paragraph 1 of Article 12 of the Law, ANEEL also included a new possibility for allocation of surplus energy.
Surplus energy can be allocated to consumer units classified within the low-income residential sub-classes that receive surplus energy from micro or mini GD from a renewable source, installed with resources from the distributor’s energy efficiency program after March 02, 2021 in buildings used by the public administration bodies.
- Billing during the transition period
The transition rules, provided for in Article 26 of the Law, apply to the consumer unit:
(i) connected or for which a connection quote request was filed until January 07, 2022; and
(ii) for which a connection budget request was filed with the distributor between January 08, 2022, and January 07, 2023.
The deadline above only applies if the injection of energy is initiated within the longest period between:
(i) the connection deadline to the distribution system specified in the connection budget;
(ii) 120 days for micro GD units, regardless of the source, counted from the date of issuance of the connection quote;
(iii) 12 months for solar-powered mini GD units, including those equipped with a storage system, from the date of issuance of the connection budget;
(iv) 30 months for distributed minigeneration units from other sources, from the date of issuance of the connection quote.
- Social Renewable Energy Program (“PERS”)
The REN amended Annexes I, III, IV and VI of REN No. 920/2021, which established the Energy Efficiency Program Procedures – (‘PROPEE”), to address PERS.
In this case, the distributor must carry out, annually, at least one public call for accreditation of companies specialized in services for the installation of photovoltaic systems and other renewable sources and, subsequently, a competitive public call for contracting services aimed at implementing photovoltaic systems, local or remote, or of other renewable sources, for low-income residential sub-classes consumers.
ANEEL ratifies the model of the Connection Budget Form for GD
On February 10, 2023, ANEEL published ANEEL Ratifying Resolution (“REH”) No. 3,171/2023, which is part of the MMGD regulation process and ratifies the model of the Connection Budget Form for Micro and Mini GD power plants and investment cost reference values, for GFC payment purposes.
The form has a field for requests and statements. In this field, the user:
(i) Can request that the counting of the period for the distributor to carry out the inspection is only initiated after the request by the user (optional request).
(ii) Can waive the right to withdraw from the connection budget (optional declaration).
(iii) Can authorize the distributor to deliver, along with the connection budget, the contracts and document or means for payment of costs for which the user is responsible (optional declaration).
(iv) Must declare that its internal installations, including the GD, comply with the rules and standards of the distributor, the rules of the Brazilian Association of Technical Rules (“ABNT”) and the rules of the competent official bodies.
The numbers for calculating the GFC are as follows:
| Source type | Investment cost (BRL/kW) |
| Solar Photovoltaic (including floating) | 4,000 |
| Hydro (CGH) | 5,000 |
| Wind | 4,500 |
| Thermal (all types, including qualified cogeneration) | 4,000 |
ANEEL amends PRORET to include regulation on economic aspects of MMGD
On February 13, 2022, ANEEL published REN No. 1,060/2023, which includes the regulation on the economic aspects of the MMGD and amends Subsections 5.2, 7.1, 7.2 and 7.3 of PRORET.
The regulation concerns items related to the new obligations assumed by the Energy Development Fund (“CDE”) and the repercussions of the new billing rules for SCEE participants regarding the tariff proceedings of distributors.
Among the changes introduced by the REN, it is important to highlight that a specific quota was established in the annual budget of CDE (“CDE-GD”) to bear this new obligation, in order to distinguish the allocation of costs between the Free Contracting Market (“ACL”) and the Regulated Contracting Market (“ACR”).
In addition, a new tariff component was created to collect the new CDE-GD quota, which resulted in changes in Subsections 7.1, 7.2 and 7.3 of PRORET.
Finally, the Superintendence of Tariff Management (“SGT”) was ordered to evaluate, by the end of 2023, the suitability of implementing paragraph 2 of Article 10 of Decree No. 9.022/2017, so that the amount of CDE quotas to be passed on to the end consumer is segregated from other tariff components for billing, setting, adjustment, and review purposes.
