“Our teams have been working tirelessly to restore power to all consumer units and it has been done. Celesc restored power to more than 260,000 consumer devices in seven hours,” said Celesc President Tarcisio Rosa.

According to Celesc, the main incidents were related to the strong winds that hit Santa Catarina due to the cyclone since last Wednesday (12). The wind caused poles to tilt and fall, cables tore and objects to fall on distribution networks.

This Monday (17) all incidents related to the cyclone have already been disclosed. Consumers without electricity can contact Celesc at 0800-048-0196 or through the company’s app.
