The Commission of Mines and Energy approved on Wednesday a proposal to provide incentives for deployment in new buildings or used in systems that use renewable sources of energy for lighting environments, power generation and water heating.
Under the proposal, the incentives are granted by the Union and also will be valid for the implementation of systems for the reuse of treated water and the use of rainwater.
The text is approved by the rapporteur, Mr George Hilton (PRB-MG), the Draft Law 5733/09, the Senate. The unique design makes mandatory the use of alternative energy a priority, such as solar energy in water heating systems in buildings constructed with funds from the Housing Finance System (SFH). Since the substitute provides incentives, but does not require a priority for this type of energy.
In justifying the change, the rapporteur said that in the warmer regions of Brazil, and North and Northeast, there is no demand for large amounts of heated water in many buildings, such as government offices and even homes of families.
In addition to the deputy, there is no economic viability for the mandatory installation of systems for heating water using solar energy in all buildings constructed with funds from the SFH.
Hilton argued, however, creating incentives for the deployment of systems using renewable energy sources. He said if these systems are deployed on a significant number of buildings, enhance the sustainability of water use and energy production in the country
Incentives
According to the text agreed between incentive mechanisms to be employed by the Union to finance the purchase of equipment and components for systems that use renewable energy sources, are special lines of credit with subsidized interest rates, using resources of the Financial System Housing (SFH), the Brazilian System of Savings and Loans (SBPE), the Guarantee Fund for Length of Service (FGTS), the Worker Support Fund (FAT) and the Global Reversion Reserve (RGR).
Another possibility, as the substitute, will be granted by the Union of tax incentives in taxes to the Tax on Industrialized Products (IPI), Import Tax, Income Tax and other federal taxes levied on equipment and system components using renewable energy sources.
The substitute also provides that consumers who install solar energy system will rebate energy bill.
Conduct
The project, which is being processed in conclusive character, will still be analyzed by the Urban Development, Finance and Taxation, and the Constitution and Justice and Citizenship.
