The Mauritian Summer Time Become A Total Flop!
2009/02/24 - By Kurt Avish - 617 views
Now lets get back to serious things. The Summer time in Mauritius is a total flop story! That’s not a BBC headline or whatever but a deduction that almost all of us here can make after about 4 months of fake summertime time in Mauritius!
The summer time in Mauritius was introduced on the 26th of October 2008 if you still remember and there was many protests against this decision of the government. The summer time was introduced with the expectation to save energy!
Yea we can see how much is being saved and how much is being illuminated! Well note that the idea was proposed by EXPERTS! Haha yea…experts in illuminating the house for Christmas maybe!
So the main question today after 4 months of bluffing time is did we save energy?! I will say NO! Do one thing… get your electricity bill for last month and compare it to the one in october… so? Did you save energy? Or did you waste energy and money?
On my side, my electricity bill has increase instead of decreasing for a summertime! Hellbound decision of the EXPERTS of the government OR the government! Now let me explain the mechanism behind this.
Summer time in Mauritius was introduced and the actual real time was moved by one hour forward. So today if your made in china clock is showing 8:00 it is actually 7:00! Now the experts thought that (yea they thought) if summertime is introduced then, there will be daylight till 20:00 and people will use less electricity. Note that the mentioned 20:00 is actually 19:00 in real time. But what happened?
If people had the habit to sleep at 22:00, did they went to sleep at 22hr summertime? No! Infact most of us them went to sleep at 23:00 and often later than that! Another thing, they said that till 20:00 there will be daylight. Well my computer, my microwave, my tv, my radio ect do not use solar energy! Maybe they experts thought we have solar energy here! Thanks god my shower water is by solar energy else I wonder what would have happened in the heat when I have to take 4 shower per day! Pheew… the EXPERT got wrong with their calculation this time again!
So how did the electricity bill increased instead of decreasing? We wake up earlier in the morning as the hour is in advance. However we do not sleep one hour in advance at night! And we all know that it is in the evening that more electrical energy is used. So everyday our electrical consumption increase by 1 or 2 hours. Thats about 50+ more hours of energy usage per month! Moreover, the weather is too hot these days and people take about 4 shower per day instead of 1 or 2. So those using electrical water shower get some more spices in their bill. As a result we have been using more energy during the summer time! So?
The experts have any reply now? I guess most of you have had this electricity bill increase na? How much did it increase for you and since the summer time is here, did you actually use less electricity? Another important question is that do you go to sleep earlier or much later at night now? What do you have to say to the government for the summertime? Share your thoughts here.
By the way this was my 200 th article! 
200 article and its 9 months since Island Crisis is here. Yupppiiiiii!!

@Shah: WLOL That was jst an example…ok for you erase the 22hr…and put it a 2hr the morning and replace the 23hr by 3hr in the morning
Alien dont sleep i forgot 
@Tushal: Exactly…but its sad we are all following those morons
[Reply to this comment]
Well the energy we are saving is being used to light the roads during broad daylight. How you noticed that? And nobody cares, not even the CEB. The roads are being renovated and Lampadaires are being put everywhere to guide the night users.. you know.. the lougarou and so on.

I stopped reading at – “If people had the habit to sleep at 22:00, did they went to sleep at 22hr summertime? No! Infact most of us them went to sleep at 23:00 and often later than that”
What kind of man are you? I thought you were a scientist. Why are you so bound to time? Why do you even sleep?

“Summer Time”, like any idea or product, should have been promoted massively (in the media, schools, colleges, hospitals, social welfare centres, halls and subhalls of villages) so as to show and educate the general public about its advantages and about its ‘dos and donts’. Unfortunately that has not been the case and people have no clue at all about it and hence their lifestyle are unchanged = no change in electricity bill.
Its not a flop coz its a bad idea (its a good one infact), it is a flop due to its disastrous marketing strategy.

@Assss: This is true. Most mauritian has to accept the decision because the mass has accepted it. If you rebel out…many just TALKS but none really support you when you rebel out. That’s the sad side of the country.
@Simplecotton: Hmm… a good side of the situation to consider too. Infact it was just like IMPOSED on us without really educating the population of how to better manage with it.

@Bolom sounga: Bien dir sa man. I see that the electricity bills are more as we have used more electricity as mauritians were not really educated about how to better use it as simplecotton said above.
@Thanisha: Same problem as me :S – I go to sleep at the normal time i used to go… but it is late in term of summertime…but to wake up i have to wake up in sumemrtime. Time transition during the night lol

At least Mauritians have benefitted in one way, i.e, now it has once again confirmed that government (no matter which of the two party, in fact they are 2 sides of the same coin!) does not care about you.
Do you think the gov does not know beforehand that this would be a flop. I certainly believe they do. But Why they let it happen? They must be benefitting from this in one way or another. Experts have 2 scratch the surface and see what the real purpose Mauritian Summer time has served?

[...] after about 48 hours of blog holidays and thanks god summer time is over in Mauritius! Those who don’t like kids… RUN! An army of kids for the Nick KCA [...]
actually we shud change the topic to opposition supporters Vs government supporters. we are just fighting for our personal political party here and summertime is only a comouflage to openly criticise the govt!!! atleast have the courage to be more open andstop being underhand…u people do not like summer time because you do not like the government.. as simple as this.
if some of you have been sincerely affected by summer time then please suggest what improvements the govt can make to the concept if ever they are thinking of reimplementing it. if mauritians stop being bias in their thoughts and argue concrete things then anybody has to listen be it the media or govt!!!
