The initiative is part of a nationwide electricity rationing plan.
Vice-President
Jorge Arreaza said there had been a surge in energy demand due to
extremely hot weather. He said state employees would now work from
07:30-13:00 to save on air conditioning.
On Monday, local media reported blackouts across the country.
Mr Arreaza said private companies would be asked to use their own generators to reduce pressure on the national grid.
But
he said it was private homeowners who consumed the most energy, and he
called for everyone to turn the dial down on their air conditioners.
