A ANEEL (National Electric Energy Agency) announced the annual ranking of the performance of electricity distributors, highlighting the average time that consumers were without power and the compensation paid by companies for failures in the supply of electricity.
The document indicates that consumers spent an average of 10 hours and 14 minutes without access to electricity in their properties over the past year. Despite this, the indicator represents an improvement of 1,7% compared to 2023, when the average was almost 10 hours and 30 minutes.
Already The frequency of interruptions saw an average reduction from 5,15 interruptions per consumer in 2023 to 4,89 interruptions in 2024, which represents a 5% improvement over the period.
A ANEEL attributes this improvement to new supply quality rules and tariff incentives implemented in the sector, which would have made distributors offer “a better quality service to their consumers”, alleged the Agency.
