I think the reason for this is to reduce the earth's carbon footprint.

A:Yes, most electricity is generated by burning fossils fuels, mainly coal. This releases a lot of extra carbon dioxide, a greenhouse gas, into the atmosphere where it is gradually building up, absorbing the sun's heat, and warming the planet, too much. So if we all use a bit less electricity it will reduce the carbon footprint of our country. All countries are in a kind of race to reduce their carbon emissions. They don't all want to take hard steps, but if people reduce by themselves the governments will be happy (a bit!).
