Context & Explainers
The anti‑blackout plan (Portuguese: plano antiapagões) is a government contingency strategy to reduce the risk of widespread power outages by coordinating grid operators, protecting critical services, managing reserves and, if needed, implementing targeted measures. For households and businesses it means the government and utilities aim to avoid uncontrolled outages, but you should still follow supplier notices and emergency guidance during peak demand or extreme weather periods.
