Brazil cut solar power for the first time on June 7, switching off surplus rooftop output as a holiday glut threatened to overload the grid.

Key Facts
—The move: Brazil’s grid operator, the ONS, triggered its emergency excess-generation plan for the first time, effective Sunday, June 7.
—The reason: High rooftop-solar output met very low demand on a mild long-weekend Sunday, risking too much power on the system.
—The target: The plan cuts mainly small distributed solar and microgeneration that the ONS does not dispatch directly, via the distribution utilities.
