"The energy savings from extending daylight time are not great, but could mount, according to studies. A report last year by the Energy Department projected savings in electricity at four-tenths of a percent each day of extended daylight savings time— or three one-hundredths of a percent of annual electricity use. Daylight saving time modestly reduces evening electricity use."

Both "daylight saving time" and "daylight savings time" are used in the same article.
