Good morning Ericka Araújo, do you have any information about the difficulty of the distributor ENEL in connecting the solar plants that provide solar energy through sharing, known as Solar Energy by Subscription, here in Rio de Janeiro?
Thanks.
Parabéns a nova gestão dessa grandiosa empresa. Vimos recentemente que nos estados onde houve privatização das refinarias, o valor do produto final ao consumidor aumentou consideravelmente. O que prova que PRIVATIZAR FAZ MAL AO BRASIL.
