As contas de luz voltarão em outubro à bandeira verde, sem cobrança de tarifas adicionais, informou nesta sexta-feira (25) a Agência Nacional de Energia Elétrica (Aneel). A bandeira tarifária voltará a vigorar após cinco meses de bandeira amarela, que tem custo adicional de R$ 1,885 a cada 100 kWh consumidos. Notícias relacionadas:Bandeira tarifária de energia permanecerá amarela em setembro.Consumidores poderão escolher fornecedores de energia a partir de 2027.Eventos climáticos extremos desafiam concessionárias de energia.Segundo a Aneel, o retorno da bandeira verde se deve ao aumento no volume de chuvas, em especial nas regiões Sul e Sudeste, o que estabiliza o armazenamento nos reservatórios das usinas hidrelétricas. A agência reguladora explica que, por esse motivo, será possível reduzir o uso de fontes de energia mais caras, como as usinas termelétricas, à base de combustíveis. Criado em 2015 pela Aneel, o sistema de bandeiras tarifárias reflete os custos variáveis da geração de energia elétrica. Divididas em cores, as bandeiras indicam quanto está custando para o Sistema Interligado Nacional (SIN) gerar a energia usada nas residências, em estabelecimentos comerciais e nas indústrias. Portanto, as cores das bandeiras tarifárias são definidas a partir da previsão de variação do custo da energia em cada mês. Quando a conta de luz é calculada pela bandeira verde, não há nenhum acréscimo. Quando são aplicadas as bandeiras vermelha ou amarela, a conta sofre acréscimo a cada 100 quilowatts-hora (kWh) consumidos. Conheça os valores das bandeiras tarifárias bandeira verde: nenhum acréscimo; bandeira amarela: acréscimo de R$ 1,88 para cada 100 quilowatt-hora (kWh) consumidos; bandeira vermelha, no Patamar 1: acréscimo de R$ 4,46 para 100 quilowatt-hora kWh consumidos;  bandeira vermelha, no Patamar 2: acréscimo de R$ 7,87 para cada 100 quilowatt-hora kWh consumidos.
