ANEEL (National Electric Energy Agency) decided on Friday, the 27th, that the Brazilian bills will continue with red flag in April, continuing thus higher. They are red since January, indicating that the cost of energy production in the country following very high and, therefore, the population should remain saving.

This system establishes the collection of an extra fee of R$ 5.50 for every 100 kWh (kilowatt hours) of energy used. The funds raised by the distributors will be used to finance the most expensive energy production, mainly due to the greater use of thermal power plants.

Understand the flags
Green:
Favorable conditions for power generation. Filling. The rate does not rise.

 
Yellow:
Less favorable conditions. Rate rises over R$ 2.50 per 100 kWh.

 
Red:
More expensive energy cost. Thermal linked. Rate rises R$ 5.50 per 100 kWh.

 
The measure applies to the whole country, except the states of Amazonas, Amapá and Roraima, which are not connected to the national power transmission system, and are attended by thermal isolation.

Operation
Effective from January 1, tariff flags allow the monthly payment to consumers of the extra expense of the distributors with the rising cost of electricity. Before, the distributors were required to play this account to be reimbursed when the adjustment that occurs once a year.

The cost of energy production in the country increases in situations such as currently experienced, where the lack of rain reduces the storage of water in hydroelectric and thermoelectric you must use. These plants are powered by fuels such as oil and gas and, therefore, the energy produced by them is more expensive.

Consumers will be informed on the electricity bill, on the banner in place. If it is green, the rate does not suffer any increase. Yellow, the increase is R$ 2.50 for every 100 kWh (kilowatt hour) consumed.
Red, the consumer pays R$ 5.50 for every 100 kWh consumed in the month.
