A ANEEL (National Electric Energy Agency) imposed a fine of R$165,8 million on Enel-SP for failures in the provision of services, including the blackout that left more than 2 million people without electricity in Greater São Paulo (SP), on November 3 of last year.
According to the regulatory agency, the distributor breached the São Paulo electricity network concession contract by failing to guarantee energy to residents affected by the storm that hit the city.
Furthermore, it was found that there was a delay on the part of the distributor in allocating teams to respond to the incident.
The document points out that, although the storm occurred on November 3, it was only three days later that there was a significant increase in the number of teams in the field, which resulted in a very long period for contingency action.
A ANEEL He also assessed that there has been a “clear deterioration” in the response to emergency incidents in recent years by the distributor, responsible for supplying electricity to 24 municipalities in the Metropolitan Region of São Paulo.
To the press, Enel-SP informed that it will not comment on the case. The company can appeal the decision.
