Figure 7.
The chart displays weekday electricity demand distribution from late December to mid June along the horizontal axis, with dates ranging from 21 December to 18 June. The vertical axis shows percentage of total demand from 0 to 100. Each vertical bar represents a day and is divided into two segments: Operational hours and Out-of-hours. Out-of-hours generally account for approximately 40 to 65 percent of total demand, while operational hours account for the remaining 35 to 60 percent. Around late March to early May, the share of out-of-hours demand increases, reaching close to 60 to 65 percent, while operational hours decrease correspondingly. After this period, the proportions shift back, with operational hours gradually increasing and out-of-hours decreasing to around 40 to 50 percent. Two vertical dashed lines indicate the COVID shutdown period in 30 March and 29 May, during which the relative contribution of out-of-hours demand is higher compared to operational hours.Breakdown of total electricity demand at Site A between weekdays only (Monday to Friday), separating operational hours (07.00 a.m.−07.00 p.m.) and out-of-hours (07.00 p.m.−07.00 a.m.)
