International Energy Agency executive director Fatih Birol said global electricity demand is growing rapidly. This growth has been driven by many factors, one of which is the rapid development of electric vehicles. Furthermore, air conditioning is a major driver of the growth in global electricity consumption, particularly in emerging markets.

The International Energy Agency said that in the next ten years, a sharp increase in air conditioning usage will have the biggest and most unpredictable impact on the world's power grid.

According to International Energy Agency researchers, the increase in income in developing countries and the rise in temperature due to climate change mean that the increase in electricity consumption for household air conditioners will far exceed the increase in electricity consumption in the entire Middle East region. Currently, 90% of households in Japan or the US have air conditioning. However, in emerging markets, this figure is very low; in Nigeria, for example, only 5% of households have air conditioning.

The Zhitong Finance App learned that Haitong Securities released a research report saying that in order to speed up the construction of a new power system, promote high-quality development of new energy sources, and promote large-scale equipment upgrading, the State Grid will invest more than 600 billion yuan for the first time in 2024, an increase of 71.1 billion yuan over the previous year.

The new investment is mainly used for the construction of UHV AC/DC projects, strengthening the connection between county power grids and large power grids, and the digital and intelligent upgrading of power grids. Haitong Securities believes that speeding up the construction of new power systems, UHV, distribution networks, etc. are key investment areas for power grids.
