What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Brazil's electricity regulator, ANEEL, recommended cancelling the power grid concession held by Enel in Greater São Paulo on October 6. Agnes Costa, a director at the regulator, recommended the declaration of caducidade to the Ministry of Mines and Energy. This recommendation was supported by substitute director Ludimila Lima. Costa cited slow emergency crews, weak crisis management, and insufficient staff as reasons for the recommendation.

The concession covers the power grid of Brazil's largest city and its suburbs. The case tests how far Brazil will proceed against a foreign-owned utility over service quality. The recommendation puts pressure on the Ministry of Mines and Energy to decide on the cancellation of a major public concession.
