The role of air conditioning (AC) is essential in extreme heat, particularly in difficult European regions, where even имеют sales, coping with heatwaves in countries like Italy, Greece, and Spain. The country alone accounts for over one-third of all electricity used for AC, including 23 terajoules out of a total of nearly 60 terajoules, despite high electricity prices. Italy is often cited as the most energy-dependent country due to its population growth and the high demand for heating services.

The inclination toward AC in Europe is attributed to the highest temperatures experienced, such as 48C in Sicily or Sardinia, and Italy’s status as the oldest population in Europe. Greece andouth have similar trends, with air con becoming a major expense. Despite accounting for only 0.6% of household electricity, AC is the lion’s share (62.5%) of energy use in the EU, followed by heating for rooms and water.

The initiative by Ankara to target net-zero emissions by 2053 and similar climate laws in other member states have highlighted the growing demand for energy-efficient solutions. Energy transparency is a key focus in the European Union, with air con consumption at 1.6% of household energy, a 67% reduction from 2021, thanks to historic innovation and reduction in renewable sources. The single-digit drop in natural gas usage (29.5%) and electricity (25.9%) underscores the dominance of non-renewable energy.

Despite ongoing challenges, Europe’s energy transition appears crucial for global stability. The article highlights the surprising trends of 2025, including rising temperatures and rising demand, but also warns that any country can move towards more renewable energy by utilizing savings, green opener policies, and integrating photovoltaic installations. The collective effort to manage energy demand is as vital as shifting to a net-zero urban heat island target. As the continent faces an energy transition, public awareness about climate risks, the fight to save life, and the need for bold policies will be key to success. Making these decisions now is essential to ensure the continent moves beyond human-induced climate change.
