Dont worry, i was (still?) just like some of you a few days ago and i had to ask my dear colleagues Bernard & Ashvin to explain to me the concept of summer time ( heure d’été ) that will be applicable as from the 1st November 26th October 2008.
Analysis :
Lets simplify things…
In order to save Power/Resources (electricity, petrol) consumption, the government has decided to move the time by 1hr so that [ayo, mo meme pas trop comprend]!
I quote from a reliable source:
Indeed, as proved in most industrialized countries, DST or Summer Time reduces the consumption of energy. Daylight Saving Time (or Summertime in many countries) is a way of getting more light out of the day by advancing clocks by one hour during the summer. During DST, the sun appears to rise one hour later in the morning, when people are usually asleep anyway and sets one hour later in the evening, seeming to stretch the day. The reason DST works is because it saves energy due to less artificial light being needed in the evening. In Mauritius, the Finance minister has said that the Summer Time project would reduce the normal energy consumption by 15 megawatts – “equivalent to the output of a small power station.”
