‘High energy consumption alarming’ | Arab News — Saudi Arabia News, Middle East News, Opinion, Economy and more.:
"Naif Al-Abadi, director general of the Saudi Energy Efficiency Center (SEEC), has warned against the alarmingly high rate of energy consumption in the Kingdom.
He said the per capital consumption of electricity in Saudi Arabia was three times higher than the world average. He attributed the unbridled consumption of power to the cheap cost of electricity in the Kingdom.
“Air conditioners consume more than 70 percent of power, particularly during the summer, putting an operational and financial burden on the electrical system in the Kingdom,” he said.
Al-Abadi said that sales of air conditioners in the Kingdom registered a 12 percent growth annually, putting the number of air conditioners used in the country at 17 million."
