a little ‘sleep less, but so many advantages. significant economic benefits for families. April and October are the months that earn more

And the summer time ’round, not just an hour of sleep in less between yesterday and today, but also – especially – substantial savings in terms of electricity.
At 2 last night, therefore, even the clocks of Lecco have made a leap forward than sixty minutes, which will require the most sensitive subjects some of adjustment day. Between now and October, however, this measure will reduce the consumption of a 580 million kilowatt hours, which in a nutshell amount to more than 94.5 million euro, as measured by Terna, the national electricity network manager.
> In the province of Lecco, this mass of kwh meets the needs of the area for 99 days; much more than in Como (78) and a good part of the other provinces of Lombardy (Monza and Brianza 51, 27, Bergamo, Brescia 18, Milan 13 days). Peak, however, for Sondrio, whose days are related

In spring and summer, the month according to the operator’s estimates will score the most substantial savings will be in April, with 149 million kilowatt hours (equivalent to 26% of the total). This result is explained by the fact that this month has shorter days in terms of natural light compared to other entire period. “Moving forward the hands of hour, therefore, it delays the use of artificial light in a time when working activities are still in full swing.”
In the summer months, from June to August, because the days are longer than in April, “the” lag effect “in ignition of the bulbs is placed in the evenings, when work activities are mostly finished, and makes recording less obvious results in terms of electricity saving. It should also be remembered that the increased demand for electricity during the hottest summer months is due to the use of air conditioners, and is therefore independent from daylight saving time, because exclusively linked to climate and temperature factors and not to the greatest number of hours of daylight. ”
In autumn, however, it is precisely in October (when it will return to standard time between Saturday 29 and Sunday 30) to gain supremacy. From the homepage of the “load curve it is visible Terna (www.terna.it) site,” which is the development of consumption.
