This 49th edition of CINASE received approximately 35,000 attendees and over 200 speakers, and had the support of 70 exhibiting and sponsoring companies in a 10,000 m² usable area.

One of the controversial topics widely discussed at the event was the future of energy distribution and how to advance in increasing underground distribution networks or whether it will continue with the overhead configuration in Brazil. Currently, only 0.4% of the country’s energy distribution networks are underground. In other countries, such as Germany, however, 80% of distribution networks are buried. Among the benefits of burying power lines would be an average of only 12 minutes of power interruption per year. In Brazil, this number is around 600 minutes. The problem becomes even more concerning when considering the number of serious incidents caused by accidents on power lines.
