The National Electric Energy Agency (ring) will keep the green flag next November for all consumers of the National Interconnected System (SIN), which has about 56% of storage at the end of October, as the end of the dry season approaches.
With the determination, there will be no extra charge for the seventh consecutive month on the electricity bill, which is without the fee since the end of the water scarcity flag, which lasted from September 2021 to mid-April 2022. According to Aneel, at the time the green flag was chosen because of the favorable energy generation conditions.

Aneel’s General Director, Sandoval Feitosa said that, with the maintenance of the tariff flag for November, the agency’s projections in June were confirmed. At the time, Aneel had said that, “despite the increase in additional fees, the Agency’s models indicated a high probability of a green flag by the end of the year”. “The projections were confirmed and today it is possible to say, with great certainty, that the flag will remain green until the end of the year. This is excellent news,” he said.
If other tariff flags were proposed, the consumption account would reflect an increase approved at the end of June by Aneel of up to 64% of the tariff flags. According to Aneel, the adjustments reflected inflation and the higher cost of thermoelectric plants in 2022, due to the rise in oil and natural gas prices in recent months.
The tariff flags were created in 2015 by Aneel, and reflect the costs of generating electricity. Divided into levels, they indicate how much it is costing the SIN to generate the energy used in homes, industries and commercial establishments.
When there is a green flag, it means that the account will not have any additions. In the case of red or yellow flags, the increase in bills varies from R$ 2,989, for the yellow one, to R$ 9,795, for the red level 2, this is for every 100 kilowatt-hours (kWh) consumed. When the water scarcity flag was in effect, consumers paid BRL 14.20 more for every 100 kWh.
The SIN covers almost all of Brazil and is divided into four subsystems: Southeast/Midwest, South, Northeast and North. The exception is some parts of states in the North region and Mato Grosso, in addition to the entire state of Roraima. Currently, there are 212 isolated locations in the SIN, where consumption is low and represents less than 1% of the country’s total load.
