Oh, it does save electricity - depending on one's latitude and other
factors. If it didn't, it would not have been persisted in. I'm sure
that the results of DST in terms of electricity consumption were
tracked when DST was instituted or extended in wartime, at least.

There was an empirical test of sorts in 2005 when Indiana went on DST.
Electricity consumption went up. Conditions have changed from WWI and
WWII. Electricity is used for a lot more than lighting.
