The National Electric Energy Agency (Aneel) announced the Red Flag level 1 for October on Friday 26 October for October.
The National Electric Energy Agency (Aneel) announced on Friday (26) the level of the Red Flag 1 for the month of October.
This means that consumers will receive electricity bills with further $ 4.46 for every 100 kilowattora (KWH) consumed.
The indication of the volume of rainfall lower than the average and the consequent reflection in the level of the tank is not favorable for the generation of hydroelectric plants.
Given this scenario, it is necessary to guide thermoelectric plants, which are more expensive and justify the activation of the level of the red flag from 1 to October. In the previous months the level of the Red Flag 2 was activated.
It is important to note that the source of solar generation is intermittent and does not inject energy for the system all day. For this reason, it is necessary to drive the thermoelectric plants to ensure the production of energy when there is no sunlight, even in the end.
On tariff flags
Created in 2015 by Aneel, the tariff flag system indicates consumers, the costs of the energy generation in Brazil.
The flags show the variable cost of energy production, based on the analysis of the availability of water resources, the progress of renewable sources and the activation of more expensive generation sources such as thermoelectric plants.
With flags, the consumer gets a more active role in defining their energy bill. After knowing, for example, that the flag is red, the consumer can adapt their consumption to help reduce the value of the account.
According to the previous rule, which provided for the transfer only in annual tariff adjustments, the consumer had no information that the energy was expensive at that time and therefore had no sign of reacting at a higher price.
Aneel reiterates the importance of responsible use of electricity. Energy saving also contributes to the conservation of natural resources and the sustainability of the electrical sector as a whole.
