Public Consultation Opened to Improve Rules for Connecting Electric Vehicles to the Brazilian Grid
The National Electric Energy Agency (ANEEL) approved the opening of Public Consultation No. 42/2025, with the aim of receiving input from society and the electricity sector in Brazil to improve the rules for connecting electric vehicle chargers to the power distribution grid.
The initiative seeks to modernize the regulatory framework and align it with the rapid growth of electromobility in the country.
The consultation was officially published on December 9, 2025, and will remain open for contributions until March 2026, marking a key step in adapting the Brazilian electricity system to the new consumption patterns associated with electric mobility.

Aligned Regulation
The proposal submitted for consultation was prepared by ANEEL technical teams, based on information provided by energy distributors, contributions from other players in the sector, and the results obtained in electric charging pilot projects already implemented in Brazil.
The main focus is to make the connection process more efficient, reduce regulatory friction, and provide greater clarity to companies, charging infrastructure operators, and end consumers.
With the advance of electric vehicles, connecting charging points to the grid has become critical to ensuring the orderly and safe expansion of electromobility, especially in high-demand urban areas.
Studies conducted by the Energy Research Company (EPE) indicate that the demand for electricity associated with electric vehicles will grow exponentially over the next decade.
However, the development of public charging infrastructure is not advancing at the same pace, which could become an obstacle to the widespread adoption of this technology in Brazil.
Given this scenario, ANEEL is opening the regulatory debate with the aim of identifying the main bottlenecks, assessing the current limitations of the regulatory framework, and defining how regulation can drive the advancement of electromobility, rather than hinder it.
Open Dialogue
In this context, the regulation of grid connection becomes a strategic element in ensuring that the electrical infrastructure can keep pace with the growth of the electric vehicle fleet without compromising the reliability of the system.
With the opening of Public Consultation No. 42/2025, ANEEL seeks to broaden the dialogue with society, the electricity sector, and electromobility stakeholders, ensuring that the new rules reflect market realities and technological developments.
The goal is to build a regulatory framework that offers greater legal certainty, operational efficiency, and predictability for consumers, companies, and distributors alike.
The initiative also aims to ensure that regulation actively contributes to the modernization of the electricity grid, preparing it for greater electrification of transport in the coming years.
ANEEL‘s Public Consultation will be open for contributions from December 11, 2025, to March 10, 2026. Contributions can be sent directly to the official email address provided by the regulator: cp042_2025@aneel.gov.br.
The results of this process will be fundamental in defining the future rules for connecting electric vehicle charging infrastructure in Brazil and in consolidating a regulatory environment that favors the sustainable growth of electromobility in the country.
