From April 1, the tariff flag of electricity bills will be green and there will be no value addition to consumers. The flag will be effective next month was decided today (29) at a meeting of the board of the National Electric Energy Agency (Aneel).
According to the agency, the change of tariff flag was decided before the simulation of generation and distribution costs of electricity and the surplus accumulated in recent months in the flag system accounts.
Since the system was implemented tariff flags in January 2015 until February 2016, the flag remained red. In March, he went to yellow. The increase of rain this year, which improved the volume of the hydroelectric reservoirs, coupled with reduced demand and the inclusion of new plants in the Brazilian electrical system, enabled the change of tariff flags in recent months.
The flag of the color indicates the energy cost more or less depending on the conditions of electricity generation. "With the flags, the electricity bill is more transparent and the consumer has the best information to use electricity more consciously," says Aneel.
According to the agency, the tariff flag is not an extra cost in the electricity bill, but a different way to charge an amount that was included in the energy bill, with no increase in the annual tariff adjustment of the distribution.
