Sources: 5. Developments: 2. In September 2026, the Brazilian Association of Electricity Distributors (Abradee) issued warnings regarding wildfire risks to the national electrical grid. The association noted that intensifying drought, high temperatures, and low humidity created environments where fires could rapidly reach electrical lines, threatening public safety and infrastructure. By October, extreme weather continued to impact energy stability across Brazil. In Goiás, power interruptions were attributed to wind gusts and lightning strikes, which accounted for over 51% of occurrences. In the Greater São Paulo region, wind gusts reaching 86.4 km/h left approximately 127,000 homes without electricity. Meteorological projections suggest these weather patterns may be influenced by a strong El Niño, with effects potentially lasting until early 2027. Experts have called for increased investment in energy resilience and preventive maintenance to mitigate the impact of these recurring climate events on critical infrastructure. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-01: Extreme weather drives energy supply interruptions in Brazil Extreme weather, including wind gusts and lightning, is driving power outages in Brazil, prompting calls for increased energy resilience and preventive infrastructure investment. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/extreme-weather-drives-energy-supply-interruptions-in-brazil ### 2026-09-12: Abradee warns of wildfire risks to Brazil's electrical grid Abradee has warned that intensifying droughts in Brazil are increasing the risk of wildfires damaging electrical grids and disrupting power supplies. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/abradee-warns-of-wildfire-risks-to-brazils-electrical-grid --- Cite as: Extreme weather impacts on Brazil energy infrastructure.
