建议我国尽快恢复夏时制

Daylight-Saving Time Should Be Resumed in China

夏时制是人为规定将时针拨快一小时、充分利用夏季白天日照时间长的特点而节约照明用电的一种制度。国际上已有70多个国家实行夏时制,节电源效果十分明显。我国从1986 至1991年实行了6年夏时制,1986年当年节电7亿kWh,占全国生活用电的2．82％。建议尽快恢复实行夏时制,这对于缓和我国电力供应紧张、建设节约型社会都是非常必要的。

Daylight-Saving Time （DST） is a system that is established to fully use the daytime and saving the electricity use by lighting during the nighttime in the summer through setting backward time by one hour. It has been adopted by more than 70 countries in the world so far, and had an obvious effect of electricity saving. China introduced DST system from 1986 to 1991, lasting for six years. The electricity saving from this system in 1986 was about 700GWh, accounting for 2.82% of total electricity use by household. Therefore, it is recommended to resume DST system application in China. This is one of necessary measures to alleviate the electricity supply intension, and to help constructing a resource-saving society in China.
