A ANEEL (National Electric Energy Agency) reported that the volume of rainfall and the good conditions of Brazilian reservoirs guaranteed the continuation of the green tariff flag for the month of February.

This way, consumers will not have additional costs on their energy bills, and this is the third consecutive month with the green flag, after a few months of variation between the yellow and red flags.

Even with favorable generation conditions in the country, the Agency highlighted the importance of consumers maintaining conscious consumption habits to avoid waste and contribute to the sustainability of the national electricity sector.

tariff flags

The system tariff flags was created by ANEEL in 2015 and aims to adjust the cost of electricity for Brazilian consumers on a monthly basis, consisting of the colors green, yellow and red (at levels 1 and 2).

This sequence indicates the cost of energy for the following month: green means there is no additional cost, yellow indicates a slight increase in the energy bill and red means a higher cost for Brazilians.

The sequence reflects the variable cost of energy production, considering factors such as the availability of water resources, the advancement of renewable sources, as well as the activation of more expensive generation sources such as thermoelectric plants.

According to ANEEL, this signaling makes the consumer active in knowing whether or not they need to use energy more consciously, due to its cost.
