Brazil plans to re-implement daylight saving time to conserve energy due to drought-affected hydroelectric power.
Brazil is set to reinstate daylight saving time to conserve energy amid a severe drought impacting hydroelectric power generation. The measure, pending approval from President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, aims to reduce electricity demand during peak hours. While it could benefit sectors like bars and restaurants, it may complicate airline schedules and increase operational costs. Daylight saving time was last applied in 2019 before being abolished.
