The Green Symbol of the Energy Bill Means Exemption from Additional Charges and May Persist Until 2024, According to Aneel.

Hélvio Guerra, head of the regulatory agency, revealed that the abundant rains, which significantly increased the level of the hydroelectric reservoirs, the main source of energy in the country, make this possible.

The maintenance of the green flag was attributed to the growth of energy supply this year, with emphasis on renewable sources, as he states. He also predicted that this trend would continue uninterrupted until 2023.

According to Luiz Carlos Ciocchi, General Director of the National Electric System Operator (ONS), in a recent interview with Reuters, there are no indications of additional costs on Brazilians’ energy bills this year. “The ONS is very attentive to the environment and is comfortable for 2023 and 2024. All of our reservoirs are full and it continues to rain, which gives us that comfort,” Guerra told Reuters. More than 60 percent of Brazil’s electricity comes from hydroelectric plants.

Higher Supply

In addition to favorable hydrological conditions, the director of Aneel emphasized that the supply of renewable energy generation will increase this year.

Wind power already has about 25.6 GW of installed capacity in the country, while solar power has 27 GW of plants (plus self-generation and distributed generation). According to the Absolar Association, the country is expected to add 10.1 GW of solar generation alone in 2023, of which 5.5 GW is from distributed generation (rooftops and small lots).
