Also, blehh load shedding. Do you have load shedding in Brazil, Brisin?
Not where I live, no. We did have some major blackouts some years ago, but I think they took measures so that doesnt happen again.
Cant say that doesnt happen anywhere in Brazil, just never heard of it before.
From time to time, we do have some government commercials trying to educate people to not leave lights on when they are away, not leave fridges at maximum, etc, and it usually happens during the summer here. But I never had to turn off lights purposedly. Just plain blackouts.
These are in portuguese, but you can see the dates they happened:

Blackout got "translated" to portuguese, "blecaute". Argh.
