Daylight saving time will reduce from 4 to 5 percent of electricity demand in the country, which means a savings of 1,800 megawatts in the Southeast and Midwest and 500 MW in the southern region, said on Tuesday President the National System Operator (ONS), Hermes Chipp.
Daylight saving time begins on 18 and runs through February 21.
According to Chipp, the saving in time is not as important to the country, as in previous years, but contributes to increase system security.
"The important thing is the economy, but to reduce demand at peak times," he told reporters during a power event in Rio de Janeiro.
Brazil has its generating concentrated mainly on hydroelectric power and the period of abundant rains this year ensures full supply. With plenty of energy, thermal power plants are not being triggered.
