The measure was suspended in 2019 during the Bolsonaro administration; This year, according to the assessment of the Department of Mines and Energy, there is no need for it for now
A topic loved and hated by the population must remain intact. The return of summer time this year is not a necessity, according to an assessment by the Ministry of Mines and Energy. The clock change caused controversy in 2019, when it was suspended by Jair Bolsonaro (PL). Since then the country has no longer had daylight saving time.
“The Ministry of Mines and Energy (MME) informs that, thanks to the safe planning implemented by the Ministry since the first months of government, the data does not indicate, so far, any need to implement summer time,” the Ministry informed folder, in note.
According to an analysis by the National Electricity System Operator (ONS), “the typically dry period is nearing its end, making the EAR results [Energia Armazenada] more relevant. The region with the highest EAR indication is the South (86.3%). The other projections are: North (77%), South-East/Central-West (71.8%) and North-East (68%)”.
The bulletin for the week of September 16 to 22 presents an estimate that EAR levels will remain, at the end of the month, above 70% in three submarkets, which represents stability compared to the first revisions in September.
The article asks for more details on the analysis of the Ministry of Mines and Energy and clarifications from the Civil Chamber as to whether summer time has been completely excluded. The files were not returned.
Lula survey
Daylight saving time was first adopted in Brazil in 1931, under the administration of Getúlio Vargas. In 2008, Lula (PT), in his second term, standardized and regulated summer time. Until 2019, when it was suspended by Bolsonaro, the change began in the first weekends of October and lasted until the end of February, with the aim of reducing energy consumption and improving natural light consumption.
After being elected president in November last year, Lula opened a poll on his Twitter. There were approximately 2 million interactions, of which 66.2% were in favor of returning to summer time and 33.8% were against. Among those in favor was First Lady Janja da Silva.
Government that consults the population. What do you think about the return of daylight saving time?
