re-energisation
In terms of electrical engineering, 'consignação' refers to the process of de-energising an electrical installation (i.e. shutting it down), whereas 'deconsignação' is the opposite, the process or re-energising the installation after it had previously been de-energised (basically, shut down).
Pretty confusing, and contrary to what it originally seems.
