Daylight Saving Time
change tonight



The idea of DST was first introduced in 1784 by Benjamin Franklin.
In 1916, Germany and its allies were the first countries to use DST.
Out of 196 countries in the world only 70 countries observe DST.
Arizona (except some areas) and Hawaii, and, American Samoa, Guam, Puerto Rico and, Virgin Islands are the only States and Territories of United States that don't observe DST, respectively.
On 31st October 2007 in a Press Release, Western Power researched and reported despite of saving DST caused "a 0.6% increase in electricity consumption in WA's main grid". PR also stated that "The daylight saving research showed slightly less power was used on days when the temperature went below 30 degrees, and slightly more power when the temperatures went above 30 degrees"
