Majlis Research Center Opposes Abolition of DTS

Majlis Research Center, the influential research arm of the parliament, expressed its strong objection to officially abolishing a law based on which Daylight Saving Time is practiced.
According to a report recently published by the center, DST saves energy and its abolition will be detrimental to the energy sector, the Energy Today's website reported. 
Some MPs have proposed a bill to end the practice of adjusting the clock.
DTS helps decline energy consumption by at least 3% and reduces electricity use during peak demand (1 p.m. and 5 p.m.) by about 2%, the report said.
