The National Electric Energy Agency announces the continuation of raising the green induction flag next month
This decision was officially reported by government agency Last Friday the 25th.
The green flag representation, applied to all SIN consumers, is associated with the improvement of hydroelectric power plant reservoir conditions.
SIN corresponds to the set of transmission lines that carry the energy produced by the plants to the points of consumption.
The tariff flags mechanism, implemented in 2015, aims to provide transparency regarding the true cost of electricity, adjusting values according to generation conditions and energy availability.
Anil and tariff flags
Tariff flags, created by Anil in 2015, reflect the variable costs of generating electricity. The tiered flags indicate the cost of creating energy used in homes, businesses, and industries.
When calculating the electricity bill with the green flag, there is no increase. When a red or yellow flag is applied, the bill is increased, ranging from R$2,989 (yellow flag) to R$9,795 (red flag level 2) for every 100 kWh consumed. When the water scarcity flag was in effect, from September 2021 to April 15, 2022, the consumer paid an additional amount of BRL 14.20 per 100 kWh.
The interconnected national system is divided into four subsystems: Southeast/Midwest, South, Northeast, and North. Practically the entire country is covered by SIN. The exceptions are some parts of the states in the northern region and Mato Grosso, as well as the entire state of Roraima.

There are currently 212 isolated locations on the network, where consumption is low and represents less than 1% of the total load in the country. The energy demand in these regions is mainly provided by diesel thermal oil plants.
