The electricity bill may seem like a simple document at first glance, but behind each line and number, there is a wealth of information that can help you understand your consumption and, consequently, manage your business more effectively. Let’s dive into this universe and uncover the secrets that your bill hides.

In the regulated market vs. in the free market

In the regulated market, the energy bill simply reflects the monthly consumption, charging a single amount for the period. In the free market, consumers have the freedom to negotiate contracts with one or more energy suppliers, which can result in multiple bills throughout the month.

Crucial details for efficient reading

Knowing your bill goes beyond simply looking at the amount to be paid and the due date. It is a communication channel between you and your distributor, providing essential information about the services provided and the amounts corresponding to each of them.

Voltage class and tariff modality

One of the key elements in electricity billing is the tariff modality, which is divided into two groups: Group A, for large high-voltage consumers, and Group B, for smaller consumers, such as homes and stores. This classification determines the rates applied to the bill, relating the cost to the consumption profile.

Taxes, charges and tariffs

The bill includes a series of taxes, charges and tariffs that impact the final amount. Among them are PIS, COFINS and ICMS, which represent federal and state taxes, in addition to charges intended for the implementation of projects and actions in the electricity sector.

Tariff flags

Tariff flags can change the final amount of the bill, reflecting the current energy costs according to generation aspects. However, in the free market, these flags are not applied.

Saving through understanding

Understanding your energy bill, together with monitoring consumption history, can help you adapt your spending according to demand. Effective energy management can bring significant results in the short and long term, allowing you to identify discrepancies and changes in consumption.
