The resumption of summer time in 2024 was ruled out this Wednesday (16) by Minister of Mines and Energy Alexander Silveira. However, the government will assess in the coming months the possible resumption of the measure from 2025.
“We have come to the conclusion that there is no need to declare daylight saving time for this summer. We have ensured energy security, the process of restoring our water situation, which is still very modest, is starting. We are able to get after the summer in a position to estimate the return of this policy in 2025Silveira said.
This is what the minister also said It is important that the measure be considered, as long as it is not the result of a purely dogmatic or political assessment. “It is a policy that has both positive and negative impacts on the power sector and the economy, therefore it should always be on the table for accurate assessment by the federal government,” he informed.
If the measure is adopted later this year, important sectors of the economy will have little time to adapt their activities. Daylight saving time was applied between October and November and February and March each year.
