About Venezuela Time (VET)
Venezuela Time (VET, IANA: America/Caracas) is the official civil time of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela, set at UTC-4:00 year-round. Venezuela abolished Daylight Saving Time long ago and the country has had a complicated time-zone history — in 2007 President Hugo Chávez moved Venezuela from UTC-4:00 to UTC-4:30 (a 30-minute offset, citing benefits to schoolchildren's morning light), then in 2016 President Nicolás Maduro reverted the country back to UTC-4:00 (citing energy crisis and need to better coordinate with regional neighbors). VET serves approximately 28 million people across Venezuela's 23 states + Federal District + Federal Dependencies. Major cities: Caracas (3M city, 5M metro — capital), Maracaibo (2.3M), Valencia (1.4M), Barquisimeto (1.1M), Ciudad Guayana (900K). VET is the same offset as Atlantic Standard Time (AST), making coordination with Puerto Rico, USVI, Bermuda, and Canadian Maritime provinces in winter relatively straightforward. Affects: Bolsa de Valores de Caracas (BVC) operations, PDVSA petroleum-export shipping schedules, and Angel Falls tourism in Canaima National Park.
About Atlantic Standard Time (AST)
Atlantic Standard Time (AST, IANA: America/Halifax, America/Puerto_Rico) is the time zone for the Canadian Maritime provinces and most of the Caribbean, set at UTC-4:00. AST is observed in: Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Prince Edward Island, Labrador (partially), Newfoundland's Labrador portion, eastern Quebec, Puerto Rico, US Virgin Islands, Bermuda, Anguilla, Antigua, Aruba, Barbados, British Virgin Islands, Curaçao, Dominica, Grenada, Guadeloupe, Martinique, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent, Trinidad and Tobago, and Venezuela (since 2007). Canadian Maritime provinces observe AST in winter and switch to ADT = UTC-3:00 in summer per the Energy Policy Act-aligned Canadian schedule. The Caribbean territories (Puerto Rico, USVI, Bermuda) and US territories observe AST year-round without DST per their territorial governments. AST is the same offset as EDT (Eastern Daylight Time) during US summer months, so Halifax and New York are on the same clock in summer but Halifax is one hour ahead in winter.
