    Brazil evaluating return to summer daylight saving time

    Silveira said there was no energy risk in 2024 but it was necessary to think with an eye on 2025 and 2026

    Brazil's National Electric System Operator (ONS) suggested the federal government implement a summer daylight saving time scheme as part of its contingency plan, Agencia Brasil reported Thursday. The measure is now under evaluation with a decision due in the coming days, according to Energy Minister Alexandre Silveira, who also explained that even if adopted, it may not necessarily last the whole summer.
