Flag tariff hinders forecasting consumer spending, says expert
System of tariff flags in electricity bill comes into force on Thursday
The system of tariff flags, allowing the collection of extra value in the electricity bill, according to the cost of power generation, entered into force in early January. In the first month of the year, the flag was also red, because of the intense use of thermoelectric energy, which is more expensive than that generated by hydroelectric plants.
The flags act as a traffic light, with green, yellow and red colors to indicate the power generation conditions in the country. If a month with little rain, hydroelectric reservoirs are the lowest, so you must use more energy generated by thermal power plants.
When the electricity bill comes to the green flag means that the costs to generate power that month were low, so the power tariff will not increase. If you come with the yellow flag, is warning signal, for generating costs are increasing. In this case, the energy rate will increase to £ 1.50 for each 100 kilowatts / hour (kWh) consumed. Have a red flag shows that the cost of generation that month is higher, with the largest thermoelectric drive, and there will be an additional R$ 3 per 100 kWh.
According to Aneel, with the system of tariff flags, the consumer can identify the month of the flag and respond to this signal with the intelligent electricity use without waste.
