The Social Electricity Tariff program in Brazil provides electricity bill reductions for low-income families, including those registered in CadÚnico, BPC beneficiaries, and families with members requiring medical equipment. In Amazonas, eligible groups such as indigenous and quilombola communities may receive a 100% discount on consumption up to 80 kWh per month.

In other regions, administrative challenges have emerged regarding the maintenance and acquisition of these benefits. In Maranhão, over 274,000 beneficiaries must update their registration data to comply with Aneel Resolution No. 1,147/2025 and avoid losing discounts. This includes over 67,000 pending registrations in the Grande Ilha region. Meanwhile, in Tocantins, approximately 94,000 eligible families have not yet registered for the program, with significant numbers of unregistered families identified in Palmas, Araguaína, and Gurupi.
