The National Electric Energy Agency (Aneel) informed that it will order Enel to present justifications for the new blackout in São Paulo, which occurred between the night of Friday (11) and the beginning of this Saturday (12), and propose “adequacy ” from your distribution service.
According to the Agency’s position, the adaptation proposal will be analyzed by a collegial board and if the company does not present a “satisfactory and immediate solution for the provision of the service”, a process will be initiated to recommend the expiry of the concession with the Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME) .
THE CNN sought out Enel to comment on the position. Until the publication of this report there was no response. The concession to the distributor runs until 2028.
In total, 2.6 million consumers were left without power with the rains and winds that occurred of which 2.1 million are in the Enel concession area. This Saturday morning, around 1.6 million customers were still without electricity .
Enel says it has activated an emergency plan and has approximately 800 teams on the streets. Throughout the day, 2,500 technicians must be mobilized.
In total, 500 generators were supplied to points considered critical. The company also stated that it has two helicopters traveling along high voltage lines to locate problems in difficult-to-access areas.
In a press conference earlier, the president of Enel São Paulo, Guilherme Lencastre, stated that the company did not have a deadline for the full restoration of energy .
Ministry asks Aneel to cover Enel
The MME (Ministry of Mines and Energy) reported that it established a situation room for the blackout and asked Aneel to cover Enel to restore power.
The department’s note, in addition to indicating “reiterated” problems in Enel’s concession area, raises the tone against the Agency, which claims “it failed to monitor the distributor”.
“Once again showing a lack of commitment to the population, the regulatory agency did not proceed with the process that could lead to the distributor’s forfeiture, requested a year ago by the Ministry, which should give rise to the investigation of Aneel’s actions with the control bodies” , he wrote.
