Increasing use of air conditioners endangers global networks. How is the energy

The International Energy Agency (IEA) has warned that the huge increase in the use of air conditioners will have one of the biggest and most unpredictable impacts on the world's power grids in the next decade.

Agency researchers state that the combination of rising incomes in developing countries and higher temperatures due to climate change will lead to higher consumption of home air conditioners, which will be more than the current total of electricity in the Middle East.

In the main report, the Agency increased its demand forecasts in this sector, noting that consumption until 2035 will be six percent higher than it was estimated last year.

The report says air conditioners will require an additional 697 terawatt hours (TEh) of electricity by 2030, more than three times the additional demand compared to data centers. Electric vehicles, on the other hand, will require an additional 854 TWh.

The variability of demand for air conditioners means they will have the most unpredictable day-to-day impact on power grids. According to experts, many decision makers do not understand how crucial air conditioners are for electricity consumption on a global scale.

In the US and Japan, 90 percent of households have air conditioners, while in Nigeria only five percent, 15 percent in Indonesia and less than 20 percent in India. With rising incomes and the increasing impact of climate change, more and more people are buying air conditioners, making it a major factor in increasing consumption.

Even in a scenario where governments meet their climate commitments, energy consumption for air conditioners will increase by nearly 200 percent.
