Lithuania to transition to winter time on October 25

On October 25, clocks will be set back by one hour, marking the transition to winter time and shorter days. While the practice originated during World War I to conserve energy, the impact on modern electricity consumption is a subject of discussion.

Experts note that while longer periods of darkness lead to increased use of indoor lighting, the cost impact for households remains relatively low due to the efficiency of modern LED technology. For example, a 10W LED bulb consumes only 0.01 kWh per hour. While the total number of lights and their duration of use can influence monthly bills, experts suggest that household electricity costs are unlikely to increase drastically due to this seasonal change.
