Aneel Keeps Tariff Flag Green for November

Overview

• Aneel announced Friday that the tariff-flag for November 2026 will be green, which means electricity bills will not carry an extra monthly charge.
• The agency said increased rains have balanced reservoirs in regions with major hydro plants, cutting the need to run higher-cost thermoelectric power plants.
• This is the second month in a row with a green flag after five months at yellow from May through September, when consumers paid an extra R$1.88 per 100 kWh.
• The bandeira system, created by Aneel in 2015, signals generation cost conditions to consumers and keeps fixed surcharge rates for non-green levels: yellow R$1.88/100 kWh, red patamar 1 R$4.46/100 kWh, and red patamar 2 R$7.87/100 kWh.
• The green decision eases household and business bills in the short term but Aneel said future flags will depend on evolving rainfall and reservoir levels, so charges could return if hydrological conditions worsen.
