Was the Amapá (Brazil) blackout well handled?

Was the Amapá (Brazil) blackout well handled?

The Federal Government's official solution was to pay those affected by charging all other electricity consumers, which had nothing to do with what happened.

The specialized and even the most general media pointed out that the cause of the blackout was a lightning strike. It follows, therefore, that it is a "fortuitous event".

For all the offical agents of the national electricity sector such as the formulator of the strategies (ministry of mines and energy), the regulator and inspector (aneel), the local transmission and distribution companies, this thesis is a relief factor since they cannot be held responsible.

Do you agree with this posture?
