In a statement, the regulator of the electric sector classified the release as “An important advance for the resumption of essential activities”but warned that the schedule is still “restrictive”with most of the resources expected for December.
Aneel’s board of directors said it is reevaluating the prioritization of activities, focusing on Ombudsman, Supervision and In -person Care.
