According to projections, Southeast Asia’s air-conditioning population was increase from 40 million in 2017 to 300 million by 2040 due to higher temperatures and better pay.
That would expand native electric power, which is already struggling under existing conditions.
Myanmar produces only about half the amount of energy it needs daily, with the junta blaming the country’s weak hydropower system as a result of lackluster rains, lower natural gas prices, and infrastructure attacks by its opponents.
In recent months, Thailand has seen record energy demand as people retrace their energy inside their cool, damp homes or businesses.
According to the IEA, air conditioning is now accountable for the output of about one billion metric tons of carbon dioxide annually out of a total of 37 billion emitted worldwide.
However, cooling options like atmosphere- conditioning are a vital way to protect human health, particularly for those who are most vulnerable to the effects of intense heat: Children, the elderly and those with certain disabilities.
