The National Electric Energy Agency (Aneel) informed this Friday (27) that it maintains the green flag for the month of June for all consumers connected to the National Interconnected System – the energy transmission network that covers almost the entire Brazilian territory. .
With the green flag, which indicates favorable conditions for energy generation, no extra charge on the energy bill.
This is the second green flag announcement made by the Agency since the end of the Water Scarcity Flag, which came into effect in 2021 to compensate for the increase in generation costs due to the serious water crisis that the country was facing at the time, which housed the triggering of thermoelectric plants.
The flag represented an additional charge of R$ 14.20 for every 100 kilowatt-hours consumed.
When the water shortage was announced in August of last year, thermal plants accounted for 29% of the energy generated in Brazil, according to the National System Operator (ONS).

THE green flag appears on the electricity bill when there are favorable conditions for energy generation. With this, there is no increase for the consumer in the tariff.
