Brazil Court Rules Cyclone Does Not Shield Enel SP from Blackout Liability

A São Paulo court ruled that the December 2025 extratropical cyclone does not exempt Enel São Paulo from liability for the blackout affecting 4.4 million consumers, with outages lasting up to 14 days. The ruling sets a legal precedent for utility accountability during extreme weather events in Brazil. The decision may face appeal, and its financial impact on Enel remains uncertain.
