Aneel Keeps Red Tier 1 Power Tariff Flag for November

Overview

• Consumers will pay an extra R$4.46 per 100 kWh in November, the same surcharge applied in October.
• The regulator says below‑average rains and lower reservoir levels continue to constrain hydropower, prompting more thermal dispatch.
• Aneel underscores that solar generation is intermittent, so thermoelectric plants remain essential at night and during peak demand.
• The tariff flag system applies to captive consumers on the National Interconnected System, excluding isolated systems.
• After Red Tier 2 in August and September at R$7.87 per 100 kWh, the flag was reduced to Red Tier 1 in October and is being maintained for November.
