At the height of the storm, more than 1.5 million properties in Greater São Paulo were left without electricity
Four days after the strong wind caused by an extratropical cyclone that hit the capital and the metropolitan region of São Paulo, the company reported that the electricity supply is “returning to normal levels”. In a note released this Sunday (14), the concessionaire stated that the restoration of service for affected customers is ongoing.
According to Enel São Paulo, technical teams continue to work on the most complex cases, which involve the reconstruction of the electrical network, changing cables, poles and other equipment, in addition to responding to new requests for power outages.
At the height of the storm, more than 1.5 million properties in Greater São Paulo were without electricity. Since Wednesday morning (10), around 1,800 teams have been mobilized to respond to the effects of the storm, considered the longest ever recorded in the metropolitan region, according to the concessionaire.
Data from the National Institute of Meteorology (Inmet) indicate that wind gusts reached 82.8 km/h at Mirante de Santana. It was the first time since measurements began in 2006 that the station recorded such a long sequence of winds exceeding 70 km/h. In the Lapa region, the maximum speed reached 98.1 km/h, according to radars from the Emergency Management Center (CGE) of the City of São Paulo.
