“…Many come from reports of government or electricity companies rather than academic peer-reviewed articles. HMSO (1970), Hillman (1993), and Hill et al (2010) report the savings for the United Kingdom; Wanko & Ingeborg (1983) and EVA (1978) report the savings for Austria; Danish Government Report (1974) and ELTRA (1984) for Denmark; Bouillon (1983), Ebersbach &Schaefer (1980), andFischer (2000) for Germany (these estimates are contradictory to later studies, such as TAB, 2016, showing some costs from DST in Germany); EnergieNed (1995) and SEP (1995) provide the estimates for Netherlands, Bellere (1996), ENEL (1999), and Terna (2016) for Italy; Mirza & Bergland (2011) for Norway and Sweden;ADEME (1995) and ADEME (2010) for France; and finally Castoralova (2019), who to some extent contradicts the findings of Kozuskova (2011), for the Czech Republic electricity market. Negative savings (i.e., costs) of the DST policy are not unheard of, even for the US (Kotchen & Grant, 2011) and Australian markets (Kellogg & Wolff, 2008).…”

“…Research, such as Choi et al (2017), Hill et al (2010), and Rock (1997), has shown that the relationship between temperature and electricity consumption is not necessarily linear but either U-shaped or V-shaped. Plotting the relationship of consumption and temperature in Figure 1 for the twelfth hour in the middle of the day, the data appear to follow a U-shaped relationship.…”

Does daylight saving time save electricity? Evidence from Slovakia

The European Union has recently decided to stop the policy of biannual clock changes in 2021. One reason is that the original rationale for the policy, energy savings, is not supported by a large portion of recent empirical studies. Whether the new permanent time will be standard time or the former daylight saving time has not been decided. Evidence on energy savings from daylight saving time is countryspecific, and each country may choose its own time. We examine the effects of the policy in a country for which no studies on daylight saving exist, Slovakia. Using hourly data from the 2010-2017 period, we apply a difference-indifferences approach and estimate energy savings to equal 0.8% of annual electricity consumption. Alternatively, extrapolating the effect from the results of a previous meta-analysis (on different countries), for Slovakia we obtain an even smaller estimate, unlikely to exceed 0.5%. Moreover, our findings suggest that daylight saving time smooths the electricity demand curve.

“…De acuerdo con sus hallazgos, existe una reducción de 1.3% en el consumo de electricidad en el caso de ambos países, así como un ahorro anual de 16.1 millones de euros para Noruega y de 30.1 millones de euros para Suecia. Por su parte, Hill et al (2010) emplean una técnica de vectores de soporte para la regresión y exploran la posibilidad de mantener el DST a lo largo del invierno en el Reino Unido, en lugar de regresar al horario estándar en apego al tiempo medio de Greenwich (GMT, por sus siglas en inglés). Encuentran que la decisión de adelantar el reloj una hora en invierno permite tener diariamente un ahorro de energía de 0.3% y uno de costos de 0.6%.…”

Background: Daylight saving time (DST) has been actively used as a mechanism for energy conservation and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. In the case of Argentina, the most recent experiences with DST occurred during the austral summer periods of 2007-2008 and 2008-2009, when the policy was finally abandoned. However, the benefits of DST and the size of the (potential) energy savings are still part of an ongoing discussion in a country where energy subsidies imply a heavy fiscal burden. Methodology: Using a difference-in-differences framework that exploits the quasi-experimental nature of the program implementation, we use hourly data for the 2005-2010 period at the province level and estimate the impact of DST on electricity consumption and on peak demand. Results: The application of DST increased total electricity consumption between 0.4% and 0.6%, but decreased aggregate national peak demand between 2.4% and 2.9%. In monetary terms, DST represented extra generation costs of 10.9 and 18 million USD during summers

This paper evaluates the impact of daylight saving time (DST) on households' consumption of electricity in Mexico. Differences-indifferences estimates suggest that current savings in households' electricity consumption due to DST account for almost 0.6% of total electricity consumption in the country. Nevertheless, the effect of DST is not homogeneous along the whole period in which it is in effect (from April to October). Savings are larger toward the end of the period.
