The subject of this paper is to study the disconnection of the energy supply from the point of view of Consumer Protection Law and to discuss the possibility of the disconnection of this type of public service when faced with an individual customer's failure to pay. Although judicial precedent for this matter has already been agreed, to a certain extent, before the Superior Justice Tribunal, the subject is still the source of heated debate, especially as it deals with the denial of the customer's right to maintain the availability of this resource (electric energy). Such an initiative stemmed from our concern about the applicability of the norm in favor of the consumer, which at times is unconditional and doesn t evaluate the real case. The fulfillment of the contract is necessary for its continuity. Failure to comply could result in the reversal of the current legal order and clear social harm not just individual harm. Thus it was attempted to put into context the legal possibility of disconnection according to the sector's legislation and consumer law. As such, to start with, the proposal of this paper is to outline the history of electric energy in Brazil, its legal structure and the players in the market. Finally, without forgetting the social benefit of this necessary public resource, the conclusion is that as long as legal procedures are followed an individual costumer's failure to pay should result in the disconnection of the energy supply as this is for the social good
