A ANEEL (National Electric Energy Agency) announced last Friday (28) that tariff flag green remains in force for the may.
In other words, there will be no additional charge for every 100 kWh consumed, as is the case with other tariff flags, such as red. The measure is valid for all consumers connected to the National Interconnected System (SIN)
According to ANEEL, the green flag remains because the conditions for generation in the country remain favorable.
“The abundant supply of hydraulic resources has provided favorable conditions for energy production in the country. The storage level in the reservoirs reached 87% on average at the beginning of the dry period, which explains the favorable scenario at the moment,” the Agency said in a statement.
The tariff flag system was created in 2015 by ANEEL, with the aim of monitoring the cost of consumption on consumers' electricity bills.
Sandoval Feitosa, general director of ANEEL, states that the tariff flag system helps to “balance the accounts of families across the country”. “The flags give transparency to the real cost of energy and allow consumers to plan and consume more consciously”, he highlights.
What are the tariff flags?
The tariff flags aim to help the consumer understand when to save and understand the value of the month's energy generation.
Green Flag: good generation conditions. The fare is not subject to any increase.
Yellow Flag: Less favorable generation conditions. The tariff is increased by R$1.874 for every 100 kilowatt-hours (kWh) consumed.
Red Flag – Level 1: Poor generation conditions. The tariff is increased by R$3,971 for every 100 kilowatt-hours (kWh) consumed.
Red Flag – Level 2: Very poor generation conditions. The tariff is increased by R$9.49 for every 100 kilowatt-hours (kWh) consumed.
Water scarcity flag: Tariff created for the 2021 drought. The tariff applies an extra R$14.20 for every 100 kilowatt-hours (kWh) consumed.
