According to recent power usage figures, people woke up later during the lockdown. Those still going to work were also not stuck in traffic for several hours every week.
Overall, power consumption went down by about a third. A decrease of about 30% can also be noticed in the financial sector, even though work continued without interruption. This may mainly be due to the fact that many employees in this sector worked from home.
In general, power consumption of private households did not increase.
Many hours of sunshine were recorded in April. Production of photovoltaics has also increased - many additional plants were built last year.
