Due To The Large Volume In The Reservoirs, Aneel Keeps The Green Flag In February And Electricity Bills May Continue Without Extra Fees

The National Electric Energy Agency (Aneel) announced that Brazilian electricity bills will continue without additional charges in February. Thanks to the improvement in the volume of water in the hydropower reservoirs, the green tariff flag will be maintained for the third consecutive month, providing relief for consumers.

Full Reservoirs And Cheaper Energy

In recent months, the heavy rains in November, December, and January significantly increased the volume of water stored in the hydropower plants.

This reduces the need to activate thermal power plants, which have higher generation costs and directly impact the price of electricity.

Impact Of Tariffs On Electricity Bills Throughout 2024

The year 2024 experienced periods of extra charges due to drought, resulting in the activation of the yellow and red tariff flags between July and November.

However, with the recovery of the reservoirs, the extra fee has been suspended since December.

The maintenance of the green flag indicates stability for consumers, who are already facing challenges with the high cost of electricity in the country.

Understand The Tariff Flag System

Created by Aneel, the tariff flag system aims to inform consumers about the conditions of electricity generation and its impact on electricity bills.

The model works as follows:

Green Flag: Favorable conditions, with no increase in the tariff;

Yellow Flag: Moderate increase in the electricity bill due to higher generation costs;

Red Flag – Level 1 And 2: Indicates high costs for electricity generation, reflecting a significant increase in the tariff.

What To Expect In The Coming Months?

Despite the current good conditions, Aneel warns that the maintenance of the green flag will depend on the levels of the reservoirs in the coming months, especially during the dry season.

If the volume of rain decreases drastically, there may be a need to activate thermal power plants, raising electricity generation costs.

For now, consumers can take advantage of the period without extra fees on their electricity bills and adopt practices for conscious energy consumption, ensuring savings and sustainability in the long term.

Engineers want to carve through Africa with a giant canal to bring water from the world’s second-largest river to a dying lake on the edge of the Sahara Desert that has already lost 90% of its water.

A giant brown band visible from space, approximately 8,850 kilometers long, connected Africa to America in the Atlantic Ocean, and satellites revealed that it is neither land nor pollution, but the largest accumulation of seaweed in the world, which broke records in 2025.

Consumers eat six times more chicken than in the 1960s, global meat supply quadruples in 60 years, and FAO report reveals the invisible cost on the plate: livestock could drive 80% of the increase in agricultural emissions over the next decade.

Motorcyclist sees excavator arriving at the edge of a river in Bosnia, calls neighbors in minutes and turns a hydroelectric project into a resistance lasting more than 10 years with five expired concessions.

Construction material store starts selling modular units that resemble small houses, assembled in a few days in the backyard, as the housing crisis pushes families towards unconventional solutions in Australia.

Inventor creates a bicycle without springs and without hydraulic oil, using only powerful magnets in the suspension, and demonstrates in tests why the idea works, but still faces engineering risks and limitations.

Thousands of residents went to the Sabaneta dam to defend rivers and crops, walked 20 km, and the pressure led the President of the Dominican Republic to suspend the gold and copper project.

A tropical forest almost three times the size of Paris was devastated to supply a chain of packaging labeled as “carbon neutral,” while an international investigation traced the wood from deforested areas in Borneo to pulp mills and box production used by major brands in the health sector.
