Enel and São Paulo City Hall will have to explain the absence of a cabling burial plan

Despite the recurring power outages, the damage caused by the overhead network and the fact that Enel itself declares itself “willing” to move forward in the process, the contractual plan does not provide for objectives, timetables, investments or guidelines for underground infrastructure.

Of the more than 20,000 km of cabling in the capital São Paulo, less than 1% of the network is underground. A program created in 2017 by the town hall to speed up the process, SP Sem Fios, has so far only buried 46.5 km. In 2022, the promise of the Ricardo Nunes government (MDB) was to reach 65.2 km by 2024.
