Portuguese translation:em condições de "cold reserve"
Explanation:
As a technical term, probably understood by professionals of the industry, it may be better to leave it untranslated, as above. If you wish to translate it, you could say "em condições de reserva fria", following the explanation below (see link):
"cold reserve
Literally, reserve energy which is currently cold. Refers specifically to energy produced by thermal generators which is available but not currently operating, and derives from the fact that an available, nonfunctional oven or steam boiler is colder than one which is in operation. "

Explanation:
Cold reserve

Cold reserve, preserved refers to a generating plant which has been decommissioned but has a valid operating permit and can be used to the full extent from a technical perspective and, which is, however, not operated for other reasons (e.g. long-term fuel shortage, too high fuel prices). Recommissioning requires the preservation measures to be removed and is, hence, not possible right away. For this reason, the output which is part of the preserved cold reserve is not directly available for the market either.
