Myth or reality? Do you know if electricity consumption is cheaper in the early morning?

During a training given by the representative of AES El Salvador, Miguel Campos, he explained that it is a reality that electricity consumption in the early morning has a lower cost. This is because the generation at this time can be supplied by the national supply, we do not need to import.

But the AES representative indicated that high demand and medium demand customers can observe a reduction in the cost of energy, which is not perceptible in the case of low demand or residential consumption areas.

The hours of high demand for electricity consumption are: from 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. and the hours of lower demand are: from 12:00 midnight to 6:00 a.m.

Therefore, there are recommendations to optimize energy consumption. That is why the expert was consulted about the measures that customers can take to avoid increases in the value of their consumption that affect their pocket.

Here is a list of the measures that can be taken:

  • Do not leave cell phone chargers plugged in

  • Try to do only one ironing of clothes
  • Avoid opening refrigerators constantly
  • Use air conditioners with inverter system that help to reduce consumption
