Why prepare for a major blackout in Brazil?
Why prepare for a major blackout in Brazil?
Watch this 7-min-video
The situation of the reservoirs that supply the hydroelectric plants, which represent the bulk of the Brazilian power matrix is already considered delicate.
Will frequent and massive rains occur? There is no robust data to answer affirmatively or negatively.
The most important lesson from the last blackout (last decade) is simple and powerful: it is worth preparing for it.
- What alternatives should be explored?
- What is the maximum cost that an alternative must have to be potentially viable?
- How long is it possible to "wait and see"?
If you are planning for such a situation there is a great asset at hand. You can do well and get ahead of the competition.

The Energy Central Power Industry Network is based on one core idea - power industry professionals helping each other and advancing the industry by sharing and learning from each other.
If you have an experience or insight to share or have learned something from a conference or seminar, your peers and colleagues on Energy Central want to hear about it. It's also easy to share a link to an article you've liked or an industry resource that you think would be helpful.
