President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) ordered the government to investigate flaws in the provision of electricity distribution services by Enel SP in the metropolitan region of São Paulo.
In an order published in Official Gazette of the Union (DOU)Lula determines that the Ministry of Mines and Energy, the Attorney General’s Office of the Union (AGU) and the Comptroller General of the Union (CGU) promote, together with the National Electric Energy Agency (Aneel), “the appropriate and necessary measures to fully guarantee the adequate, continuous and efficient provision of the public electricity distribution service to the population”.
The order also asks the AGU to prepare a detailed report on the measures adopted by Enel SP after the first relevant interruption and, to this end, “use all necessary judicial and extrajudicial measures, including requesting information from Aneel”.

The CGU must identify possible responsibility of the federative entities involved and Aneel itself, in addition to the reasons for the “lack of timely action by the competent bodies, in view of the repeated requests from the Ministry of Mines and Energy to initiate an administrative process to investigate recurring failures in the provision of the public energy distribution service”.
