If it rains, the problem is serious… This is how the residents of Rua Itabaiana, in Grajaúhave mocked the fragility of a transformer of Light in the region: The lack of electricity has become a routine whenever there is wind or the weather closes. “We are not recommended to leave the house, but staying at home means being hot and seeing food spoil. It is impossible to depend on delivery and a simple fan“, complains an elderly resident, who preferred not to identify himself.
On the internet, another resident of the leafy neighborhood, José Octavio Ortigão, he vents on his own Light profile. “It is dangerous to supply the refrigerator while relying on the power supply! After 36 hours without power, the light returned for just ten hours… and was gone again. At the top of Grajaú-Jacarepaguá, we have already accumulated 120 hours without light this month. It’s dangerous to trust“, he reports.
In addition to Grajaú, there were also complaints of lack of electricity during the weekend in neighborhoods such as Taquarawhich was without power for four hours straight on Sunday, and Dry Square, where the region was without power from Wednesday until the time this article was published on Sunday. “The teams go to the location, take a look and leave without solving it.“, reports Josias Barbosa about the situation in Road Farm.
In February, the Governor Island was one of the neighborhoods most affected by the lack of energy, but, through the internet, consumers Erica Queiroz23 years old, denounces the neglect for a week in the region of Bankingin the same neighborhood.
On social media, the former state deputy Alexandre Knoploch also reports that there was no power last Saturday. Resident of Grande Tijuca, Knoploch also mentions the bureaucracy faced when installing solar panels, a source of clean energy. “Light does not approve the installation of solar panels, it takes months to approve and, therefore, you cannot use them. All this so as not to lose revenue from the electricity bill you pay. This goes against what Brazil needs to meet energy demand“, highlights the former parliamentarian.
Since the 20th, it has been determined that electricity concessionaires in the state of Rio de Janeiro will reimburse consumers in the event of “blackouts” of four hours or more per day. The resolution, published in official diary by the Secretary of State for Consumer Protection, Gutemberg Fonsecaalso stipulates that companies are also obliged to inform customers, in detail, of the dates and times in which they were affected by the power outage.
