Brazil Keeps Power Tariff Flag Green for February, No Extra Charges on Bills

Overview

• Aneel confirmed the green tariff flag for February 2026, so electricity bills will carry no additional flag surcharge.
• The agency credited more favorable rains in the last 15 days of January for restoring reservoir levels in the Southeast, Center‑West, Northeast and North, avoiding costlier thermoelectric dispatch.
• The green flag has been in effect since January, following December’s yellow flag that added about R$ 1.88 per 100 kWh.
• Brazil’s bandeiras system, created in 2015, signals monthly generation costs to consumers, with values recalibrated after the wet season around April.
• Authorities continue to encourage prudent electricity use during the summer period despite the absence of extra charges in February.
