Social energy tariffs and retail promotions in Amazonas
In Amazonas, Brazil, low-income families can access electricity bill reductions through the Federal Government's Social Electricity Tariff program. According to Âmbar Energia, the state's utility provider, eligible groups include those registered in CadÚnico with a monthly income of up to half a minimum wage per person, beneficiaries of the Continuous Cash Benefit (BPC), and families with members requiring electrical medical equipment. Indigenous and quilombola communities may qualify for a 100% discount on consumption of up to 80 kWh per month.
Separately, the cosmetics brand O Boticário is conducting a promotional campaign in Manacapuru, Amazonas. Running until October 31, the initiative offers a 10% discount on purchases over R$ 150 at the brand's Liberdade neighborhood location. The campaign also features a “Fita Premiada” experience, allowing customers to win gifts through a fragrance-based activity.
