A ANEEL (National Electric Energy Agency) announced, this Friday (26), that the tariff flag on energy bills in Brazil will be Verde names of August. Therefore, consumers' electricity bills will not have an extra cost this coming month due to the favorable conditions for generating electricity in the country.
in this month of July, ANEEL had announced the change of tariff flag for Yellow for the first time after 26 months – since April 2022. This decision resulted in increases in the bills of Brazilian consumers, with increase of R $ 1,885 to each 100 kWh consumed.
Second Sandoval Feitosa, general director of the Agency, “at the end of June, there was an expectation of lower rainfall for July, which was confirmed in most of the country. However, the volume of rain in the South Region this month contributed to the definition of green flag in august".
Tariff flag
created by ANEEL In 2015, the system tariff flag is a mechanism that applies a additional charge on electricity bills of consumers whenever there is an increase in the cost of energy production in the country.
The objective is to make the increase pay for more intense use, for example, of activating thermoelectric plants.
The operation is simple: the green, yellow, red colors (at levels 1 and 2) and water scarcity indicate whether the electricity bill will cost more or less depending on generation conditions.
When the system operates under the green flag, there are no additions to the electricity bill. For other flags, the consumer pays an additional proportional to each color, with yellow being the cheapest and water scarcity being the most expensive.
“A ANEEL reinforces the importance of awareness and responsible use of electricity, even in favorable periods. Saving energy contributes to the preservation of natural resources and the sustainability of the electricity sector as a whole”, highlighted the Agency.
