Energy Efficiency Manager: Air Conditioners Are Second Largest Household Electricity Consumers After Refrigerators
The article focused on air conditioners ranking second in household electricity consumption in Tunisia, after refrigerators, according to recent studies conducted in 2024. This increase in air conditioning consumption is attributed to the rise in the number of units installed, with about one million new devices installed over the past five years, representing approximately 18% of total household electricity usage. Data confirmed that more than half of Tunisian families own at least one air conditioner, and these units account for about 50% of peak electricity demand during summer. The peak electricity load in July 2024 reached 4.8 gigawatts, placing significant pressure on the national electrical system. Meanwhile, the refrigerator maintained its position as the most consuming appliance, although its share decreased to 36% from over 45% in previous years, based on energy consumption trends observed over more than twenty years.
