Briefings

The Procon Paulistano of São Paulo fined Enel R$ 11.4 million for electricity supply failures between September and December 2025, with peak incidents on December 8-10 affecting up to 3 million customers. While Enel disputed the penalty, citing extreme weather, the company acknowledged restoring power to 80% of affected customers within 24 hours, though it did not specify the exact number of units restored. The decision remains subject to a 15-day appeal period.

Key points

• Enel was fined R$ 11.4 million by the Procon Paulistano for failing to provide electricity to up to 3 million customers between September and December 2025.
• The most severe incident occurred on December 8-10, 2025, when strong winds up to 100 km/h affected the concession area, though the company claimed this was comparable to November 2023 events.

Context

This administrative penalty was issued by the São Paulo City Government's Justice Secretariat, targeting a major energy provider. The case highlights ongoing regulatory scrutiny of energy companies in Brazil, with potential consequences including contract termination if the company fails to appeal the fine.

Limitations

The evidence covers only the 2025 incident period and does not include data on prior years or the total number of units restored. The specific number of customers affected by the December 8-10 incident is estimated at 3 million, but the exact count for the September incident is not provided.
