Did you know that you can get discounts of up to 100% on your electricity bill? This is thanks to the Social Electricity Tariff (TSEE), created by Law No. 10,438, of April 26, 2002. This law allows low-income families to obtain cumulative discounts on their energy bills.
This reduction in values is, in fact, parallel to the monthly electricity usage. In other words, the less you spend, the greater the discount. In the specific case of indigenous and quilombola families, it is possible to completely waive the bill by spending between 0 and 50 KWh kilowatt-hours per month.

Who is entitled to the electricity discount?
To be entitled to these discounts, the entire family unit must be duly registered in the Single Registry, with a monthly per capita family income less than or equal to half the national minimum wage, as stated on the Federal Government website.
Also included are elderly people aged 65 or over or people with disabilities who receive the Continuous Social Assistance Benefit (BPC).
This discount also applies to families with a monthly income of up to three minimum wages who have a person at home who is undergoing treatment and requires devices that operate with electrical energy.
