Starting Friday, July 5, 2025, electricity consumers in São Paulo will face a significant increase in tariffs, as approved by the National Electric Energy Agency (Aneel). The average adjustment will be 13.94% for customers of Enel São Paulo, the utility that serves around 8 million consumer units in the capital and metropolitan region.
Impact by Consumer Category
- Residential and small businesses (low voltage): 13.26% increase
- Industries, shopping malls, and large consumers (high voltage): 15.77% increase
This adjustment is driven by factors such as:
- Increase in sectoral charges (impact of 6.44%)
- Removal of financial components used in the previous adjustment (impact of 7.97%)
- Growth in the cost of CDE-USO, which funds public policies such as the social tariff
How Does This Affect Costs?
- Households: Families will feel the direct impact on their monthly budgets, especially during high-consumption months.
- Industries and businesses: The increase may compromise competitiveness, raise product and service prices, and pressure profit margins.
