Análise do papel das bandeiras tarifárias na operação do sistema e do custo econômico nas tarifas de eletricidade no Brasil

Abstract

The tariff flag system has been operating since 2015, for all consumer units in the Regulated Contracting Environment – ACR connected to the National Interconnected System – SIN, with the purpose of signaling the current costs of generating electricity to the consumer through value additional to the energy tariff, also equalize the portion of variable costs related to the acquisition of electrical energy, whose fluctuation is governed by SIN operating variables. However, little is said about the conditions for the need to create this system. This work seeks to bring a greater understanding of tariff flags through a bibliographical review of the process of discussion and implementation of the tariff flag system within the scope of the National Electric Energy Agency – ANEEL. The objective of the study is to evaluate, based on the collection of tariff flags, the impacts of the economic cost on tariffs and consequently analyze whether the system represents an economic signal provided by the flags, by indicating an additional cost in electrical energy, influences the operation of the electrical system, to the extent that consumers would adjust their demand for electrical energy conditioned by the costs of the tariffs signaled by the flags.
