EDP Distribuição denies the alleged concealment of evidence associated with the fire in the Pedrogão region

The fires that occurred in the region of Pedrogão significantly affected power distribution grids. The interventions carried out, about five months after the fires, had the objective of guaranteeing the safety conditions of the grids and ensuring the electric supply to the populations.

These interventions, aimed at preparing the grid for the winter season, were of an ad hoc nature and all competent authorities were informed in good time of the work, and with whom EDP Distribuição will continue to provide full cooperation.

In the meantime, the clearing of the protection bands around electricity lines is being carried out, an activity that EDP Distribuição develops nationwide on a regular basis, in the periods permitted by law.
