British Columbians save 65 megawatt hours of electricity and reduced the provincial electricity load by one per cent during this year鈥檚 Earth Hour, but 亚洲天堂 Lake residents stayed the same.

BC Hydro indicated in a media release last week that the province-wide electrical savings during Earth Hour 2014 were equivalent to turning off approximately 1.4 million lights. For some reason, though, 亚洲天堂 Lake residents between 8:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. March 29 had no saving.

亚洲天堂 Lake, which in the past has been an Earth Hour leader,  stayed par for the course.

鈥淥ur records indicate 亚洲天堂 Lake reported zero electricity savings 鈥� no increase or decrease in electricity consumption,鈥� said Will Mbaho, spokes person for BC Hydro.

This year鈥檚 Earth Hour leader was the municipality of Whistler, which reduced its energy usage by six per cent.

While this year鈥檚 Earth Hour savings may have been impressive, they were down significantly from last year鈥檚 totals. In 2013, provincial residents saved 136 megawatt hours of electricity during Earth Hour, or 1.95 per cent of the provincial electricity load.

Earth Hour, an annual global event hosted by the World Wildlife Fund, encourages individuals to turn off unnecessary lights and electronics to demonstrate support for climate change reduction efforts.
