Daylight saving time ends on the night of Sunday, October 26th, and winter time begins by moving the clocks back one hour - from three to two hours, in accordance with the Government Regulation on Daylight Saving Time.
According to the Government Regulation, which is based on the Time Calculation Act, daylight saving time this year began on March 30th and will last until October 26th, meaning that daylight saving time begins on the last Sunday in March and ends on the last Sunday in October.
With the transition to winter time, electricity consumed at the higher tariff will be calculated in the period from 7 am to 21 pm, and at the lower tariff in the period from 21 pm to 7 am.
Various regulations on daylight saving time were standardized in the European Union in 1996. In the meantime, numerous critics have emerged demanding that the "changing of the clocks" be abolished, citing several studies that have shown that changing the clocks in spring and autumn negatively affects the economy and people's health.
The European Union proposed ending the clock change in 2018, but to date no agreement has been reached.
