The research, conducted in recent weeks with respondents from all regions of the country, also indicates that 95% of the population experienced at least one power outage in the last year. Among those interviewed, about 38% reported having faced between three and five power outages, while 13% said they had experienced more than ten blackouts in the same period. Impacts on daily life Power outages directly affect people's routines. According to the survey, 68% of respondents cited work interruptions as one of the main impacts. Other effects mentioned were the suspension of leisure or entertainment activities (58%) and difficulty performing household chores (56%). Faced with power outages, many Brazilians resort to improvised solutions. The study indicates that 81% of people use alternative lighting sources, such as candles and flashlights, during blackouts. “Power outages are not just an inconvenience for the population; they can cause considerable losses for families and businesses. Work stoppages, as well as the loss of food and electronic devices, are just some of the damages,” said Patrick von Schaaffhausen, CEO of Descarbonize Soluções.
