The disruption in power supply is a concern for companies throughout Brazil. A recent survey released by the National Confederation of Industry (CNI) indicated that the disruption in power supply caused losses to 67% of companies that use electricity in their production processes.
According to the survey, the drop in power supply led to high losses for 32% of companies and low but still noticeable losses for 35%.
The CNI survey, which interviewed more than 3000 companies, also pointed out that the northern region of the country is the most affected by the drop in power supply, with 31% of cases.
Another finding revealed by the survey is that the increase in energy prices in 2015 affected nine out of ten industrial companies.
Regardless of the area of operation, the disruption in power supply causes disruptions ranging from production stoppages and consequent delays, waste of inputs, to the time spent resuming activities.
Thus, the use of alternative energy sources emerges as a natural path, and temporary energy strengthens as an ally of industries and their production processes.
In addition to contributing to a reduction in costs during peak hours, the use of generators in emergency situations allows machines and equipment to be started immediately after the interruption in supply via the distributor. As a result, there is no production stoppage or operational compromise.
