Aneel Sets Green Tariff Flag for January, Removing Extra Power Bill Charges

The shift reflects maintained reservoir levels that ease reliance on costly thermoelectric plants.

Overview

  • Consumers will see no surcharge in January after December’s yellow flag added R$ 1.88 for each 100 kWh consumed.
  • Aneel reports that, although the wet season has trailed historical averages, November and December generally sustained rainfall and reservoir volumes.
  • The Ministry of Mines and Energy says the green flag indicates energy security without intensive thermal dispatch and helps avoid fossil-fuel emissions.
  • Brazil’s tariff path improved from red tier 1 earlier in the year to yellow in December before moving to green for January.
  • The regulator urges continued efficient electricity use to reduce waste and support the power sector’s sustainability.
