Most expensive light bill in 2022? see the possibilities

As we already know, Brazil is a country extremely dependent on hydropower, which is a clean source of energy, but which has some problems.

Thus, the Water Scarcity Flag, responsible for increasing electricity bills, is a way of discouraging electricity consumption. As the country is experiencing the worst drought in the last 90 years, it was necessary to implement this measure in 2021, charging the extra fee on energy bills. But what about in 2022? Are we still in the same situation? Will the so-called red flag remain charged?

Extra charge remains temporarily

Compared to 2021, this year presents the possibility of improvement, with the energy crisis eased. However, even with a higher level of rainfall, the reservoirs are still below the expected level, and therefore there will be no immediate withdrawal of the charge.

According to information from the National Electric Energy Agency (Aneel), the red flag should continue until April 2022, remaining the most expensive electricity bill until then. Therefore, Brazilians will continue to pay an increase of R$ 14.20 for every 100 kilowatt-hours consumed in the coming months, but with the possibility of continuing the charge later. This is because maintaining network equipment is also costing a lot, so there are a lot of expenses to be paid.

What to do when you can't pay the new amount?

For families in a situation of social vulnerability, there are measures that try to soften the value of the light bill. This is the so-called Social Tariff, available to low-income families, which, in times of scarcity, are under the yellow flag. Therefore, instead of paying R$ 14.20 for every 100 kilowatt hours consumed, these families only pay an additional R$ 1.87 for the same amount consumed.

The measure that automatically enrolls low-income families in this program is already in effect, with no need to present any documentation. For this registration, energy companies use data from the Cadastro Único (CadÚnico), benefiting families earning up to half a minimum wage per capita.

In addition, families registered in CadÚnico with a monthly income of up to three minimum wages will also benefit if there is a disabled person at home. Finally, beneficiaries of the Benefit of Continued Provision (BPC) are also eligible to receive the social tariff.
