Favoring More Than Half a Million Customers and Generating Several Jobs, Enel Rio Announces a Package of Works in Its Distribution Network in 2021

ENEL – More Than Half a Million People Benefited

Enel Rio invested a total of R$ 20 million and will benefit approximately 765 thousand people in the two cities with the works, and will also promote the generation of several new opportunities. According to Anna Paula Pacheco, president of Enel Rio, the works create greater well-being for the population and also demonstrate the company’s commitment to improving the quality for its customers.

The concessionaire plans to carry out 31 expansion works and modernize 27 substations located in the concession area. According to the Person Responsible for Infrastructure and Networks at Enel Rio, Mihai-Constantini Peste, the substation will be managed and operated remotely by the operations center, eliminating the need for a physical operator. Approximately R$ 18 million was also invested in the LT Campos/Mombaça.

Future Networks

All these works that promise to generate several jobs are part of the Future Networks project, which aims to strengthen Enel Rio’s concession area with modern distribution equipment.

Enel has more than 6,400 remote-controlled devices installed in the network and will install another 400 in 2021. The technology allows for the quick and remote detection of potential faults in the network caused by external factors.

With these devices, it will be possible to remotely restore service to the affected area in a few minutes, reducing the number of customers without power.

Over the past two years, Enel has invested approximately R$ 1.5 billion in modernizing its network, connecting new customers, automating, and combating losses. In 2020, the Icaraí Substation was modernized and the Itamarati LT was expanded, not to mention the completion of works in Ilha Grande, in Angra dos Reis, which created several jobs, benefited more than 2,500 customers, and received investments of R$ 35 million.
