Brazil energy operators implement special plans for election runoff

The National Electric System Operator (ONS) and energy distributors are implementing special operational measures to ensure power stability during Brazil's second-round elections this Sunday. The ONS plan includes restrictions on scheduled maintenance and interventions that could impact the National Interconnected System (SIN), alongside intensified monitoring of the electrical grid and weather conditions.

In Rio de Janeiro, Enel Rio has mobilized over 1,900 professionals, including engineers and technicians, to support 2,327 polling stations. This reinforcement is particularly critical due to weather forecasts predicting rain and unstable conditions in the region. Enel Rio will also maintain a service base at the Regional Electoral Court (TRE-RJ) to ensure integrated action with electoral authorities.

The special operational regime is set to remain in effect from midnight Saturday until 7:00 AM Monday. These security measures follow protocols established by the Electric Sector Monitoring Committee (CMSE) for events of significant national importance.
