Overview
- The injunction suspends Aneel’s administrative proceeding and provisionally voids director‑general Sandoval Feitosa’s vote recommending termination of the concession.
- The ruling orders the case off the March 24 board agenda and freezes any deliberation until the court rules on the merits.
- The judge cited a vote recorded two days before Enel’s defense deadline and the inclusion of new facts, such as the December 2025 blackout, without following required procedure.
- Aneel has said it will appeal and is engaging the judiciary, noting that any eventual termination recommendation would still require a federal government decision.
- The case arose after repeated large blackouts from 2023 to 2025 and technical findings of unsatisfactory performance; Enel counters that it met recovery targets as it contests fines exceeding R$320 million.
