The Defence Committee of the House Consumer of Representatives approved the Lei6381 Project / 13, the deputy Aureo (SD-RJ), which requires radio and television to channel once a month information about the tariff flag of electricity in force.
Since 2013, the National Electric Energy Agency (Aneel) adopted the system of tariff flags to inform consumers about the availability of electricity generation in the country and on any extra costs that are passed on. Currently, information on tariff flags already included in the electricity bills.
For the text, the mandatory message will last for 1 minute and should be conveyed in the first week of each month, between 19h and 20h.
Flags
The system adopted by Aneel has three colors: green, yellow and red. In green condition for favorable conditions for the production of energy and there are no additional costs to consumers.
The yellow flag conditions are less favorable and the rate suffers an increase of R $ 1.5 for every 100 consumed kilowatt-hour. And the red charging when the power plants are in operation, the extra consumption doubles to R $ 3.
Amendments
The opinion of the rapporteur, deputy Júlio Delgado (PSB-MG), was supportive of the proposal with duasemendas. The first explains that electric utilities should bear the expenses related to the placement of informational advertising.
The Second Amendment says that the broadcasting station or the electric utility, depending on which company is responsible for non-compliance will be subject to a fine of up to R $ 1 million for each offense committed. The unique design provides a fine of R$ 1 million just for the radio and TV who break the measure.
Proceedings
The project, which is being processed in conclusive character, has yet to be analyzed by the Technology, Communication and Information; and Constitution and Justice and Citizenship.
