6 Million homes and businesses without power as Brazil awaits rain!!

Record heat and severe drought have left hydroelectric dams at alarmingly low levels, severely affecting Brazil’s hydroelectric supply.

The shortages affected at least 11 states, including some of Brazil’s most populous regions.

Authorities say blackouts were caused by short circuits in transmission lines and have nothing to do with energy shortages.
