The electricity bill has stood out as one of the most expensive bills in Brazil. But to alleviate the high cost of electricity, Equatorial Energia developed a project, the social tariff, which is currently open for applications, to assist low-income individuals with discounts on their electricity bills.

Thus, the E+ Community, a program that helps citizens obtain various government benefits, will assist people from some municipalities in the state of Pará in enrolling in the social tariff, which grants low-income individuals a discount of up to 65% on their electricity bills. Furthermore, the new social tariff project also provides the population with tips on how to reduce energy consumption and offers other services such as bulb replacement, tree pruning, debt negotiation, and more.

Eligible Individuals for Enrollment in the Social Tariff

According to the website noticiasconcursos.com.br, to qualify for the social tariff, which provides discounts on electricity bills, interested citizens must meet the following requirements: Be elderly aged 65 or older; Have a monthly family income per person equal to or less than half the minimum wage; Have a gross monthly income of up to 3 minimum wages, with a family member suffering from an illness or severe disability requiring permanent use of an electric device; Be a person with a disability who receives the Continuous Cash Benefit; Have a family registered in the government’s CadÚnico;

Flags on the Electric Bill

The flags on the electricity bill are applied based on the scenario in which the country or region finds itself, as well as the energy consumption demand of citizens.

Below is a list explaining how the charges work on the electricity bill for each type of flag:
Green Flag: is imposed when there are favorable energy conditions, with no additional charges; Yellow Flag: applied in less favorable energy generation conditions, with an increase of R$ 1.874 per 100 kWh consumed; Red Flag: activated when thermal plants are in operation, meaning more costly energy generation conditions, with a fixed increase of R$ 3.971 and another of R$ 9.492 for every 100 kWh consumed; Water Scarcity: the most expensive system, applied in extreme conditions, with an increase of R$ 14.20 for every 100 kWh consumed.

Documents Required for Enrollment in the Social Tariff

To enroll in the social tariff benefit, one simply needs to have and provide the contract account number of Neoenergia and the NIS – Social Identification Number. The corresponding department will validate the information in the Federal Government database. After the data confirmation process, the time frame for the citizen to be included in the social tariff is five business days, and they will receive the benefit starting from the next bill.
For individuals who possess the benefit but are not the account holder, the inclusion of the CPF and RG of the NIS holder is required. In this specific case, the necessary sequence would be to photograph the above-mentioned documentation and send it via WhatsApp, along with the NIS number.
