Energy usage figures have shown how Brits’ daily routines have changed since the start of the lockdown – from eating their dinner earlier than normal to waking up later.
With the nation encouraged to stay home due to the coronavirus pandemic, people are shaking up their routines and using energy at different times of the day.
The data suggests that with no commute to the office, people are waking up later and there is now a surge in electricity usage being seen at 8am, compared to 7am pre-lockdown.
Lunchtimes appear to be taking place at around 1pm and bring a 38 per cent increase in energy usage, as households combine energy needed to cook food with working from home.
