Most of the electric power in my country is provided by hydro-electrical plants. Seasonal price fluctuations occur when thermo-electrical auxiliary plants are used more often. Coal power is also common in Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul states, but due to the high sulphur content and the lower quality of coal from Santa Catarina the cost is also quite stable since it's not so sought after by the steel mills.
