Electricity bills tend to be up to 8,6% more expensive in the summer, according to ANEEL

The intense heat of summer – a season that begins next Saturday (21) – combined with school holidays and end-of-year celebrations, are factors that directly influence not only the routine of Brazilian families, but also the pockets of consumers.

To cope with the intense heat of this period, many people resort to using air conditioning and fans. Not to mention opening and closing the refrigerator door in search of ice-cold water. But when the electricity bill arrives, the shock arrives! 

Data from ANEEL (National Electric Energy Agency) show that in the summer, electricity rates tend to be up to 8,6% more expensive, which leads to many “experts” on duty appearing to give crazy ideas on how to make the electricity bill less of a burden on the consumer's pocket. 

Ideas like turning off the refrigerator at night or painting the roof white to reduce air conditioning usage are just a few. 

However, according to professionals interviewed by Canal Solar, the most efficient and sustainable solution to face this increase in the electricity bill is the adoption of solar energy systems, since the technology offers long-term savings and provides more predictability in family costs not only at this time of year but in other seasons. 

“In addition, acquisition and installation costs have recently reached their lowest level since the technology became popular, allowing real savings to occur from the first month of installation, even when financing is used to acquire the system,” explains Rodrigo Bourscheidt, CEO of Energy+. 

According to studies carried out by Radar Sol Fácil, the average price of solar energy in Brazil fell in all quarters of 2024, compared to the same periods in 2022. In the first quarter, the reduction was 5%; at the second of 10%; and in third was again 5%.
