The federal government appealed this Thursday (19) the decision of the Federal Court of Amapá that removed the directors of the National Electric Power Agency (Aneel) and the National Electric System Operator (ONS). The appeal was filed with the Federal Regional Court of the First Region (TRF-1), based in Brasilia.
The dismissal of the directors of the two bodies was determined this Thursday by the Amapá Justice and seeks to avoid any interference in the investigation of the reasons for the energy crisis in the state.
Amapá has faced power supply problems since a fire struck the state’s main substation on the last day 3.
The ONS is responsible for coordinating and controlling the electric power generation and transmission operation in the National Interconnected System (SIN) and for planning the operation of isolated systems. The operator is supervised by Aneel, created to regulate the electricity sector.
In relation to Aneel, the government affirms that the removal of the directors is only legally possible if it is shown that they can interfere and damage the instruction of the process.
For the government, the removal of directors represents an “extreme” measure that “unstable” the organization and operation of Aneel and ONS.
“Removing Aneel’s collegiate board contributes absolutely nothing to the prompt restoration of the energy supply of the state of Amapá,” argued the government.
“On the contrary, it takes away all decision-making power from the regulatory body, which, consequently, will not be able to determine the urgent and necessary measures for the agents responsible for the blackout in that state to restore the provision of essential public service to the population” , added the Union lawyers. .

The government also appealed the decision of the Federal Court of Amapá that determined the extension of the emergency aid of R $ 600, for another two months, for the citizens of the 13 municipalities affected by the blackout.
The Union argues that the payment will cause “serious damage to the legal, administrative and social public order” and the public economy and that a new social benefit cannot be created by judicial decision.
“You cannot simply assume the omission of the Union -without evidence- and, therefore, determine the creation of a new social benefit through the courts,” argued the government.
For the government, the payment of the aid will be a burden on the public coffers, since it will have an estimated cost of more than R $ 418 million, without, for the moment, having a specific budget forecast.
