ANKARA
Turkey moves to daylight saving time at 3.00 a.m. local time (0100GMT) Sunday as the clocks move forward one hour.
An extra hour of daylight in the evening occurs during the seven months from March to October.
Turkey is estimated to save about 800 million to 1 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity through the scheme, equivalent to the annual power production of a mid-level hydroelectric power plant.
In 2016, daylight saving time in Turkey will end on Sunday, Oct. 30, when clocks across the country will be turned back one hour at 4:00 a.m. local time (0200GMT).
