Use of Electricity Decreased in 2008
For whatever reason, the consumption of electricity on the island decreased an average of 4.2% during 2008. After many years of a steady increase in the use of electricity, EDF, the local electric company, added extra generators last year. However, with the recent availability of electric cars on the island, we'll have to see if this trend continues. The director of EDF has asked owners of electric cars to charge the batteries after 8:30 pm, if possible, and to avoid charging them between 6:00 pm and 8:30 pm, the hours when the most electricity is use.
I wonder if it correlates with hotel occupancy and air conditioning use?
