This will be the sixth consecutive month in which Aneel ceases to charge the fee in electricity tariffs.
The green flag is triggered when the indicator shows that the cost of generating the most expensive plant in operation in the country is below R $ 211.28 per megawatt hour in all regions.
The director of Aneel, James Barros Correa says that towards the end of the year, energy costs could rise slightly because of lower occurrence of rain in the South and Southeast.
The yellow flag, which adds R$ 1.50 per 100 Killowatt-hour consumption in the electricity bill, in force in March this year. Since April, the flag is green.
According to Aneel, the main factors that contributed to the maintenance of the green flag were the positive development of the wet season this year, which reassembles the hydroelectric reservoirs, power remains, because of reduced demand, and the entry into operation of new plants in the Brazilian electrical system.
From January 2015 to February 2016 was in force the red flag, signaling the worst conditions of power generation.
