💡70% of Saudi Arabia’s electricity is used for air conditioning

In Saudi Arabia, the weather is always warm. That means the air conditioner is always on.

Saudi Arabia uses more than 70% of its electricity on air conditioning and cooling, according to a paper (paywall) published in 2017 by researchers at King Abdulaziz University in the city of Jeddah.

And in the summer months, when temperatures regularly exceed 100°F (38°C), electricity use for air conditioning roughly doubles compared to winter use.
