A study from UC Berkeley suggests that improving the efficiency of air-conditioning units could significantly mitigate summer power cuts in India, projecting savings of 60 gigawatts in peak electricity demand by 2035, thus avoiding massive investments in new energy infrastructure. As urbanization and rising temperatures drive a surge in cooling demand, the report urges policy changes to enhance AC efficiency standards to prevent increased pressure on the energy grid and ensure reliable electricity supply during peak summer months.
