New episode of Everything Energy podcast explores booming demand for air conditioning
A new episode of the IEA podcast Everything Energy looks at the surge in global demand for air conditioning as incomes and temperatures rise.
In the episode, which is now available on Apple Podcasts and Spotify, we hear from Brian Motherway, who leads the IEA’s work on energy efficiency. He walks through the latest global data on air conditioning demand, the consequences for energy affordability and reliability, and key solutions to keep cooling accessible without overstressing power systems.
The IEA launched the new version of the Everything Energy podcast earlier this year. The series offers insights on issues at the centre of the global energy dialogue through conversations with IEA experts about key trends.
