President George W. Bush signed the Energy Policy Act in 2005, which changed the daylight saving time schedule in the United States. This act extended the duration of daylight saving time by approximately one month, starting in 2007.

As a result of the 1992 Federal Energy Policy Act(FEP),electric utilities, which was previously regulated at the state and national level, began converting to open market competition and adopting market-based pricing instead of regulatory rate structures.

Daylight savings is in March this year because of the Energy Policy Act in 2005. The Act extended Daylight Saving Time (DST) by four weeks, starting from the second Sunday in March and ending on the first Sunday in November. The four weeks were added with the hope that businesses, homes, and other energy using sources would use less energy. Whether or not less energy is being used, or that more energy is being saved has yet to be seen.
