Briefings

Aneel proposed a new 'Tarifa Hora Certa' tariff for low-tension consumers in Brazil, calculated based on usage hours rather than a flat rate. The proposal targets approximately 5.7 million users in residential, rural, and commercial sectors consuming over 500 kWh/month. Implementation is scheduled to begin in 2028, with a transition period of three months prior to enrollment. The system aims to shift costs to peak hours, potentially reducing bills for users who shift consumption to off-peak times. Current data indicates peak hour rates around R$ 1.73 per kWh versus off-peak rates near R$ 0.75, though regional variations exist. The proposal requires approval from the Aneel regulatory directorate before implementation.

Key points

• The Tarifa Hora Certa will apply to approximately 5.7 million low-tension consumers in Brazil, covering residential, rural, and commercial sectors with monthly consumption above 500 kWh.
• Implementation begins in April 2028, with a three-month transition period where consumers can opt out and switch to a temporary flat-rate tariff before final enrollment.

Context

This proposal addresses the current imbalance where conventional electricity tariffs penalize consumers during peak hours while offering lower rates during off-peak times. The new system aims to make these hourly variations visible on bills, potentially encouraging consumers to shift usage to cheaper periods. Implementation is delayed until 2028 due to regulatory approval requirements.

Limitations

Data is limited to the initial proposal phase; specific regional pricing variations are noted but not fully detailed. The transition period details are partially cut off, and the proposal requires regulatory approval before implementation.
