Enel Rio Preps Grid for 'Super El Niño' Summer 2026/27

Enel Rio announced an operational plan to mitigate the impact of a forecast strong-to-very-strong El Niño during the 2026/27 summer across 66 municipalities in its concession area. Measures include hiring staff, setting up operational bases, and modernizing grid equipment. The plan signals heightened risk of weather-related infrastructure stress in Brazil's South and Northeast, though the forecast remains probabilistic.
