Hi, Apparently, the Province of Mendoza, in Argentina's Mid-West, is about to change it's timezone to UTC-04:00 Most of Argentina lies 'geographically' in that tz, but at some point in time, after having implemented UTC-03:00 for the summer, the country 'just stayed there'... what's more, a few years ago, for some time, it used a summer tz of UTC-02:00. As Mendoza is one of the Provinces in the Western border, it is most affected for using a 'more Eastern' tz, and this is especially bad in the (Southern) winter. As there's an Energy crisis in Argentina, Mendoza is trying to 'wake up an hour later'. It remains to be seen if the Province of Mendoza effectively legislates this and what the other Provinces do (especially, the other Provinces in the West).
