The National Electric System Operator (ONS) recommended this Thursday (19) the return of the adoption of daylight saving time in the country. However, the federal government will still evaluate the scenario, before opting for the measure.ONS recommends that the government re-adopt daylight saving timeONS recommends that the government re-adopt daylight saving time

According to the Minister of Mines and Energy, Alexandre Silveira, a decision should be made in the next ten days. If adopted, the measure would still be valid for 2024, not necessarily for the entire summer.

Alexandre Silveira said that, despite the ONS’s indication, there is no energy risk in 2024 thanks to the planning adopted. Therefore, the adoption of daylight saving time will still be further evaluated.

However, the minister highlighted that it is necessary to think long term, looking towards 2025 and 2026.

Silveira pointed to daylight saving time as a measure that contributes to energy sustainability and cited Canada as an example of another country that adopts the mechanism.

Established in 1931 in Brazil, daylight saving time operated continuously from 1985 until 2019, when the previous government decided to revoke it in April 2019, claiming it was not very effective in saving energy.
