Bill will have flag green tariff in April, without extra cost, says Aneel

SAO PAULO (Reuters)-The light will keep accounts in April to call flag green tariff, which does not generate additional costs for consumers, said the National Electric Energy Agency (Aneel) on Friday. The mechanism, which aims to signal to consumers of the energy supply conditions, increases costs when you enter in patamares yellow or red, triggered primarily when there are unfavourable hydrological conditions, given the predominance of hydroelectric power plants in Brazil's energy production. " The hydrological forecast designed for the month still indicates the trend in March, the recovery level of the reservoirs. This favourable juncture points for maintenance of hydroelectric production and hydrological risk level at levels consistent with the profile of the green flag, "said Aneel in a note.
