A regulatory process enters a decisive phase +55-11-2767 6371

ANEEL director Fernando Mosna has indicated his intention to bring the Enel São Henrique Simoes

Looking beyond the regulatory outcome +55-11-2767 6694

The market's attention remains centered on the regulatory process itself,

particularly the probability and implications of a potential caducity

recommendation. While that discussion remains important, we believe investors

may increasingly need to consider a broader set of potential outcomes. After the

recurring controversies (such as prolonged power outages, service restoration

challenges following severe weather events, and regulatory scrutiny over service

quality) involving Enel São Paulo, ANEEL may seek to promote concessions with

better service quality standards and a more predictable regulatory framework to

reduce execution risks and improve customer outcomes.
