The National Electric Energy Agency (Aneel) announced this Friday (26) that the tariff flag in force for the month of September remains green. It is the fifth month in a row that energy bills will not be charged additionally.
According to the Agency, the decision “reflects good conditions for electricity generation, even considering the forecast of growth in energy consumption in the country.”
The flag is valid for all consumers connected to the National Interconnected System (SNI).
