• Echoenergia’s analysis highlights risks to Brazil’s electricity supply from El Niño, with regional rainfall shifts affecting hydropower generation.
• The phenomenon, confirmed in June 2026, has a 100% probability of persisting into early 2027, potentially reaching very strong intensity.
• Below-normal river flows could constrain northern hydropower generation; southern basins could benefit from above-normal flows.
• Heat waves could increase electricity demand, reinforcing the strategic importance of diversified generation and climate monitoring in energy planning.
