Global climate: Heat waves test Europe's energy systems
This summer, Europe faced extreme heat waves, which put a significant strain on the power grid. June was the hottest month on record in Western Europe, leading to a sharp increase in air conditioner use.
Electricity demand in the EU rose by 7.5% between June 23 and July 3, and in Spain by an impressive 16% compared to the same period last year.
Due to high temperatures and warming waters, many nuclear and hydroelectric power plants in France, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom have been forced to temporarily reduce their output or shut down completely. This has led to local power outages, particularly in Florence and Bergamo.
Heat is increasingly causing problems not only for our well-being, but also for all energy systems. A high-quality air conditioner is no longer just a matter of comfort; it is also important for safety and health.
