“It Has To Leave Brazil”: São Paulo Governor Defends Ending Enel’s Concession After Blackout In SP

São Paulo faces billion-dollar losses as Enel fails to meet its power restoration commitments. Governor Tarcísio de Freitas calls for firm intervention and an end to the concession.

The critical situation of electricity in São Paulo has been a hot topic in recent days. With recurring blackouts and massive losses for businesses and services in the capital, Governor Tarcísio de Freitas was emphatic in stating that Enel must cease its operations in Brazil. “It is clear that it has to leave here,” declared the governor in an interview during the 54th anniversary event of ROTA. His statement came in response to recent problems faced by the population, exacerbated by last Friday’s storm, which left over 158,000 customers without power.

“Enel Has To Leave Brazil,” Says Governor Urgently

The criticism from Tarcísio de Freitas was not just a momentary frustration. The governor has been pressing for a process of caducity – that is, the termination of the concession contract – due to Enel’s questionable performance. For him, imposing fines is no longer effective, as the company has repeatedly failed to pay them and, worse, continues to neglect its responsibilities. “It does not pay the fines imposed by Procon or Aneel and continues to disregard its obligations,” Freitas stated, visibly dissatisfied.

Billion-Dollar Losses and Legal Action

The impacts of the failure in power supply are not limited to residents’ discomfort. A survey by FecomercioSP revealed that the blackout caused losses of R$ 1.82 billion since last Friday. The services sector was the most affected, accumulating losses of R$ 1.23 billion, while commerce suffered an impact of R$ 589 million, particularly notable around Children’s Day, when commerce lost R$ 211 million in revenue.

In light of this scenario, the Municipality of São Paulo filed a lawsuit to compel Enel to immediately restore service in affected areas. The stipulated fine, in case of non-compliance with the order, is R$ 200 thousand per day.

Aneel and CGU Mobilize to Investigate Enel

The situation took new turns with the intervention of federal agencies. The National Electric Energy Agency (Aneel) initiated a process to investigate Enel’s failures, pointing to the possibility of a formal recommendation for the concession’s caducity. The Comptroller General of the Union (CGU) announced an audit to ascertain responsibilities, while the Federal Court of Accounts (TCU) was already investigating previous blackouts.

Both Aneel and Enel participated in meetings with São Paulo Mayor Ricardo Nunes and Tarcísio de Freitas. The agenda included discussions with other mayors of affected cities, seeking immediate solutions to the crisis.

What will be the future of electricity in São Paulo? Will Enel be able to remain in Brazil, or is it time for a new company to take over? Comment!

Seven world powers including the US, China, and Russia are spending €22 billion on a reactor in the south of France that aims to confine plasma at 150 million degrees Celsius, ten times the temperature of the Sun’s core, using a magnetic field capable of lifting an entire aircraft carrier.

Elon Musk’s internet comes to mobile: Starlink technology connects smartphones without an antenna via satellite, works even without carrier signal, already costs just US$10 extra in the US, and could arrive in Brazil as an included benefit.

A Chinese factory in Guangdong is assembling a humanoid robot every 30 minutes while Tesla, Figure, and Boston Dynamics still struggle to deliver 10 thousand per year.

While Brazil has been discussing bullet trains for 16 years, China delivers 5 new high-speed lines in 2026, surpasses 50,000 km of HSR, and moves 1 billion passengers in a single year.

With a wingspan of 152 meters, 76 tires, and a capacity to carry 1,270 tons, the Boeing Pelican was the giant “flying ship” that promised to cross oceans close to the water on an invisible air cushion beneath its wings.

While countries spend billions to draw water from the sea, a Nobel-winning scientist creates a container-sized machine that extracts up to 1,000 liters per day from dry air and uses ultrasound to release water in minutes, even in the middle of the desert.

Belgium will sink 23 giant concrete caissons, each weighing 22,000 tons, in the North Sea to build the world’s first artificial energy island 45 km off the coast, forming offshore electrical walls.

Few know, but India has a 36 km wall that surrounds a fort in the mountains and is considered the second largest in the world, behind the Great Wall of China.

Hyundai Creta 2029 appears in new spy shots with a completely revamped design, a more modern digital interior, a larger multimedia center, a more comfortable passenger seat, and electrification finally on the radar.

Former CIA analyst warns that China has already surpassed the US in missiles, electronic warfare, cyber, and military production, transforming the Pacific into a zone without safe spaces while Washington clings to its submarine advantage.

Home-built airplane by a Minas Gerais engineer uses car parts, such as a power window motor for the flaps and a tachometer on the dashboard. The project took six years, and the aircraft has autonomy to fly up to seven hours non-stop.
