In response to the climate emergency,[1] the Venezuelan government announced a series of energy-saving measures that will be implemented by the National Public Administration and other bodies of the Public Power, including the Courts of the Republic as of March 24, 2025.

National Public Administration

  • Business hours will be 8:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. for the next six weeks, with exceptions for essential services.
  • A “1×1” system is declared, where a working day is followed by a non-working day.
  • During their working day, public workers will support the communal self-government halls and consolidate the communal circuits.
  • The government urges Venezuelans to adjust the temperature of air conditioners to 23°C, take advantage of natural light and disconnect unused electronic devices to conserve energy.

Courts of the Republic 

  • The Courts of the Republic will be open on Mondays, Wednesdays and Thursdays from 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m., extending in some cases until 12:30 p.m.
