Caraguatatuba
In May 2024, the São Paulo Public Prosecutor’s Office filed a Public Civil Action for loose wires in more than 2,000 points in Caraguatatuba. In December, the Court ordered EDP to present an action plan within 90 days, rejecting a R$50 million indemnity claim. Since February 2025, the case has been suspended for agreement negotiations between EDP, MPSP, the Municipality, and telecom operators, recognizing the need for collaboration from telecommunication companies. EDP has conducted 95 regularisation actions across 40 streets and 13 neighbourhoods, with 465 geotagged photographic evidences documented. Field actions are currently paused following identification of unregistered municipal public safety assets. The Municipality and relevant service providers are in regularisation proceedings with competent regulators prior to resuming work with EDP.
ANEEL Fines
A) Event – November 3, 2023 (R$16 million)
In October 2024, ANEEL confirmed a R$16 million fine for alleged deterioration in TMP and TMAE indicators after a 2023 weather event. EDP contested, demonstrating compliance with official DEC and FEC indicators. In November, the Federal Court temporarily suspended the fine and prohibited collection. Meanwhile, in May 2025, ANEEL recommended renewal of EDP SP’s concession to the Ministry of Mines and Energy. As of September 2025, EDP SP's regulated quality indicators confirm compliance: DEC at 6.15 versus the ANEEL annual limit of 6.74 (80% of distribution sets within limit), and FEC at 3.04 versus the limit of 5.13 (98% of sets compliant).
B) Critical Areas 2021–2022
Fine for alleged deterioration in supply quality in 2021, related to the 2020–2021 Performance Plan (revised due to COVID-19). EDP contests, claiming compliance with official regulatory indicators.
