The blackout that affected the capital of São Paulo and nearby municipalities affected approximately 14% of the UCs (consumer units) in the state of São Paulo. The survey was carried out by Canal Solar based on data from ANEEL (National Electric Energy Agency).
According to the survey, today the state of São Paulo has 20.867.484 UCs connected to the grid, which are served by 19 electricity distributors, 12 of which are licensees and 7 are concessionaires. The table below indicates the concessionaires and licensees that have concession areas in the state of São Paulo.
During the blackout, which began last Friday (11) and continues to impact some properties, around 3,1 million consumer units were impacted by the lack of energy in the area under concession of the distributor Enel. This amount represents around 14% of all CUs connected to the grid in the state of São Paulo.
To get an idea of how representative this number is, the city of Manaus (AM) has 2.279.686 inhabitants, the number of consumer units without supplies in São Paulo exceeds the total number of inhabitants of the capital of Amazonas.
According to the survey, Enel, the concessionaire responsible for distributing electricity to the CUs affected by the blackout, serves 8.234.376 consumer units and a population of approximately 18.054.203 people in 38 cities.
