Electricity bill: tariff flag remains yellow in September, Aneel decides

The National Electric Energy Agency (Aneel) decided to maintain the yellow tariff flag for September, meaning electricity consumers will face an additional cost of R$ 1.885 per 100 kWh consumed. The yellow flag has been in effect since May, reflecting less favorable energy generation conditions in the country due to the dry season, which reduces water levels in hydroelectric reservoirs and requires the activation of more expensive thermal power plants. The tariff flag system, adopted in 2015, functions as a transparency tool for consumers to monthly monitor energy generation conditions.

According to specialists, high interest rates are not the only cause, but rather the combination of multiple factors: restricted credit, high debt levels, high costs, changes in consumption habits and outdated business models. Lawyer Camila Nicolau Juliano highlights that, within the judicial recovery processes, there are viable companies suffocated by interest rates, businesses with outdated models, and companies that accumulated debt during periods of cheap credit and now cannot meet their commitments.
