The Division of Planetary Operations (abbreviated to DPO) was an institution on Earth, responsible for, among other things, the global power grid. It was based in the city of Lisbon.
In 2372, members of Red Squad infiltrated the DPO on the orders of Admiral Leyton. At 0400 hours, local time, on the 23rd, they sabotaged the power relay system by downloading a self-replicating disordering protocol into the computer control network, shutting down every power relay on the planet and causing a global power outage. The entire operation, from deployment to return, took less than three hours, and the event led to the declaration of a planet-wide state of emergency. (DS9: "Homefront", "Paradise Lost")
