The
time change
by which
the clocks will be delayed one hour during the early morning of next Sunday, October 31, will
cause an increase in energy consumption in the time periods in which light has a higher price, according to the company specialized in the comparison of Selectra energy and telecommunications rates.
According to a report published this Friday by Selectra, the winter hours will reduce the hours of sunlight coinciding with the peak period, when prices are more expensive and that goes from 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., so it will increase electricity consumption in that section.
Selectra also recalls that the arrival of winter time coincides with the drop in temperatures and the consequent turning on of the electric heaters.
Thus,
putting the heating on at six in the afternoon, once the sun has gone down, will cost 59 cents in the case of split air conditioning (heat pump) and 37 cents if the electric radiator is installed
.
In addition, Selectra recalls that the new electricity rates with hourly discrimination will not modify their sections with the time change, although it explains that with the measures approved by the Government that lower charges and tolls, the difference between sections currently "does not make much sense. ", since the cheapest hours do not always coincide with the off-peak period (the cheapest).
Also, remember that energy savings were greater in the past due to the high consumption of traditional bulbs, but that today, with LED lighting, energy efficiency has increased.
For this reason, to avoid high consumption during the winter, Selectra advises to
review the price of electricity every day, insulate the different rooms to keep warm, keep the house at a suitable temperature and check and clean radiators, boilers and stoves
.
