In 2008, the U.S. Department of Energy studied the impact of the extended daylight saving time on energy consumption and found that the extra four weeks saved about 0.5% in total electricity per day. While that number might seem small, it added up to electricity savings of 1.3 billion kilowatt-hours — or the amount of electricity used by more than 100,000 households for an entire year, according to the department website.
