I’ve never paid attention to this before but apparently every year or so there are new electricity tariffs and different “plans”. This latest one comes into effect today and apparently I can save money by trying to restrict my usage to the green “valle” and yellow “llano” hours. I mean, looks great for weekends and national holidays but weekdays are going to require planning. Such as only firing up the washing machine or dishwasher at 6 AM when I get up to feed the cats (and no I can’t just put them on when I go to bed, especially the dishwasher, but that’s another story). And so that’s easy enough, as the idea is to stay away from the red “punta” times, but I mean… how can I not put on my AC between 6-10 PM during the blazing hot summer?? I practiced yesterday, having it on 4-6 PM to cool the place down and then just relying on my electric fans (with windows shut) until bedtime. And it was okay, but it sure ain’t gonna work July-August. Yeah I know… but there’s not much else going on to talk about. 😉
