The Brazilian government has introduced stricter guidelines for extending energy distribution contracts, allowing for early cancellation of concessions and limiting payouts to non-compliant firms. These regulations impact international energy companies like Enel from Italy and EDP from Portugal, whose concessions expire by 2031. The new rules aim to improve service quality by enforcing compliance through early concession termination or intervention in cases of contract violation, following recent power outages in Brazil due to severe weather events.
