Sin la conciencia que tengo ahora, recuerdo la diversi\u00f3n que compart\u00ed con mis nuevos amigos californianos de viajes, quienes se enfrentaban a dificultades para tolerar el calor. La temperatura era de 29,6\u00b0C (unos 85,3\u00b0F), con cero nubes, una brisa suave y sin humedad. Para contexto, un verano irland\u00e9s en ese momento era normalmente <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.met.ie\/climate-statement-for-july-2026\"><span>57-60\u00b0F<\/span><\/a><span> en promedio. As\u00ed que, un clima perfecto para nosotros\u2026 pero un infierno de calor para los lugare\u00f1os. Imag\u00ednense peri\u00f3dicos, carpetas de trabajo y folletos que sirven como ventiladores; chaquetas, sudaderas y cardigans que ahora se atan a la cintura de todos; un hombre sin camisa, mojado de sudor y rojo como el sol, se estira sobre una banca de madera, con los ojos cerrados y la cara girada acusatoriamente hacia el cielo. Sin duda, una visi\u00f3n impresionante en ese momento.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Haga un salto r\u00e1pido al presente: este mes el Programa de las Naciones Unidas para el Medio Ambiente (PNUMA) ha <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.unep.org\/news-and-stories\/press-release\/unep-world-set-cross-15degc-global-warming-can-still-limit-adapt-and\"><span>anunciado<\/span><\/a><span> Exceder los 1,5\u00b0C se considera ahora ampliamente inevitable bajo las trayectorias actuales y el nuevo objetivo debe ser limitar hasta qu\u00e9 punto estas temperaturas superar\u00e1n ese umbral y al mismo tiempo continuar trabajando para reducirlas. Lo que parece un peque\u00f1o cambio en la temperatura puede provocar efectos secundarios desde el calor extremo hasta la calidad del aire que respiramos, la energ\u00eda y el agua de las que dependemos y la infraestructura que necesitaremos para un mundo m\u00e1s c\u00e1lido.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>M\u00e1s c\u00e1lido de lo que crees<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span>Una media global no es tan sencilla como parece. Una temperatura adicional de medio grado en todo el planeta no significa necesariamente que todo, en todas partes, se caliente a la vez en medio grado. Seg\u00fan el Grupo Intergubernamental de Expertos sobre el Cambio Clim\u00e1tico (IPCC), los extremos torrenciales se intensifican <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ipcc.ch\/sr15\/chapter\/spm\/25\/\"><span>m\u00e1s frecuentes e intensos<\/span><\/a><span> A medida que las temperaturas globales aumentan, y en muchas regiones se espera que los d\u00edas m\u00e1s calurosos se calienten m\u00e1s r\u00e1pido que la media mundial. \u00bfSe siente el calor?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>La diferencia entre 1,5\u00b0C y 2\u00b0C es m\u00e1s significativa de lo que pueda parecer. Una temperatura media global m\u00e1s alta altera las condiciones en las que se produce el clima. Las olas de calor pueden volverse m\u00e1s intensas y frecuentes, las precipitaciones pueden intensificarse en muchos lugares y el riesgo de sequ\u00eda puede aumentar en otros. Los efectos exactos var\u00edan seg\u00fan la regi\u00f3n, pero es importante tener en cuenta que cuando cambian los par\u00e1metros de referencia tambi\u00e9n lo hacen los extremos que se construyen sobre ellos.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Estos cambios tambi\u00e9n ejercen presi\u00f3n sobre sistemas dise\u00f1ados para un clima diferente. Las carreteras, los edificios, los sistemas de agua y las redes el\u00e9ctricas tienen l\u00edmites, y las condiciones extremas pueden hacer que estos se vean afectados. Poca cosa es m\u00e1s clara que la electricidad.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_12397\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12397\" class=\"wp-image-12397 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/gridalternatives.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/20260616_Southern_California_Installation_Single_Family_AS_1543-1024x700.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Workers installing solar panels on a residential rooftop in Southern California\" width=\"1024\" height=\"700\" srcset=\"https:\/\/gridalternatives.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/20260616_Southern_California_Installation_Single_Family_AS_1543-1024x700.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/gridalternatives.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/20260616_Southern_California_Installation_Single_Family_AS_1543-300x205.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/gridalternatives.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/20260616_Southern_California_Installation_Single_Family_AS_1543-768x525.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/gridalternatives.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/20260616_Southern_California_Installation_Single_Family_AS_1543-1536x1050.jpg.webp 1536w, https:\/\/gridalternatives.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/20260616_Southern_California_Installation_Single_Family_AS_1543-2048x1400.jpg.webp 2048w, https:\/\/gridalternatives.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/20260616_Southern_California_Installation_Single_Family_AS_1543-18x12.jpg.webp 18w, https:\/\/gridalternatives.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/20260616_Southern_California_Installation_Single_Family_AS_1543-1200x820.jpg.webp 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-12397\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Instalaci\u00f3n solar residencial en el sur de California<\/p><\/div>\n<h2><b>\u00a1A menos que tengas poder! <\/b><b>(Hahahaha)<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span>Cuando las temperaturas aumentan, tambi\u00e9n lo hace nuestra necesidad de refrigeraci\u00f3n. Parece bastante simple, \u00bfverdad? Pues bien, hasta que millones de hogares y empresas necesiten aire acondicionado aproximadamente al mismo tiempo.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Este julio, durante una ola de calor, la demanda de electricidad en la mayor parte de Texas alcanz\u00f3 un r\u00e9cord. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eia.gov\/todayinenergy\/detail.php?id=67906\"><span>91,1 gigavatios en una sola hora<\/span><\/a><span>, El consumo de electricidad durante los d\u00edas de calor extremo es mucho m\u00e1s que mantenernos c\u00f3modos, y la magnitud de esa demanda es significativa. La Agencia Internacional de Energ\u00eda (AIE) estima que el aumento del uso de la climatizaci\u00f3n y las temperaturas m\u00e1s altas podr\u00edan a\u00f1adir aproximadamente <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.iea.org\/reports\/world-energy-outlook-2025\/executive-summary\"><span>500 gigavatios<\/span><\/a><span> a la demanda global de electricidad en su punto m\u00e1ximo para 2035.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>La refrigeraci\u00f3n es solo una parte de esa creciente demanda; algunas de las transformaciones necesarias para reducir la contaminaci\u00f3n clim\u00e1tica tambi\u00e9n requieren que utilicemos m\u00e1s electricidad. Los autom\u00f3viles de gas se convierten en veh\u00edculos el\u00e9ctricos, el calentamiento con combustibles f\u00f3siles puede ser reemplazado por bombas de calor y algunos procesos industriales pueden electrificarse. Al mismo tiempo, la demanda est\u00e1 creciendo debido a nuevos edificios, la expansi\u00f3n de la infraestructura digital como los centros de datos y otros cambios en la forma en que vivimos y trabajamos. Todo ello aumenta la presi\u00f3n sobre la manera en que generamos y gestionamos la energ\u00eda, lo que hace que la electricidad m\u00e1s limpia, una eficiencia mejor y una red capaz de manejar ese crecimiento sean cada vez m\u00e1s importantes.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Se detiene la actividad, pero se vuelve m\u00e1s limpia<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span>Es aqu\u00ed donde organizaciones como GRID pueden responder a esta necesidad. El solar es particularmente \u00fatil porque algunas de las mayores demandas de electricidad para la climatizaci\u00f3n se producen en d\u00edas calurosos y soleados, cuando la generaci\u00f3n solar tambi\u00e9n es intensa. Seg\u00fan el Departamento de Energ\u00eda de Estados Unidos, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.energy.gov\/policy\/articles\/how-us-power-grid-kept-lights-summer-2024\"><span>La energ\u00eda solar y el almacenamiento de energ\u00eda el\u00e9ctrica ayudaron a las redes el\u00e9ctricas<\/span><\/a><span> Aconseguir\u00e1 cubrir la alta demanda de electricidad en verano de 2024, incluso durante per\u00edodos de calor extremo.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>El almacenamiento de energ\u00eda el\u00e9ctrica puede ampliar ese beneficio m\u00e1s all\u00e1 de las horas diurnas. El Departamento de Energ\u00eda de Estados Unidos se\u00f1ala que <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.energy.gov\/cmei\/systems\/solar-integration-solar-energy-and-storage-basics\"><span>bater\u00edas<\/span><\/a><span> puede almacenar la electricidad solar cuando la generaci\u00f3n es alta y ponerla a disposici\u00f3n m\u00e1s tarde, incluso durante las tardes y noches de verano cuando la demanda de refrigeraci\u00f3n puede permanecer alta incluso cuando el sol comienza a ponerse. Tambi\u00e9n existen enfoques emergentes que utilizan la energ\u00eda solar de forma m\u00e1s directa para el enfriamiento, como <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/task48.iea-shc.org\/\"><span>Sistemas t\u00e9rmicos solares<\/span><\/a><span> que utiliza el calor del sol para ayudar a alimentar el equipo de refrigeraci\u00f3n.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>En GRID Alternatives, la energ\u00eda solar y la energ\u00eda almacenada en bater\u00edas ya forman parte de la labor que realizamos para ampliar el acceso a la energ\u00eda limpia y la resiliencia. A medida que el enfriamiento se vuelve m\u00e1s importante en un clima m\u00e1s c\u00e1lido, estas tecnolog\u00edas ofrecen una forma de satisfacer esa necesidad sin contribuir significativamente a la contaminaci\u00f3n clim\u00e1tica en el proceso.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><b>Adaptarse, no rendirse\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span>O\u00edr que se espera que el mundo supere ampliamente los 1,5\u00b0C puede parecer mucho, pero afortunadamente no es lo que dice el PNUMA. <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.unep.org\/resources\/limiting-overshoot-navigating-exceedance\"><span>Informe sobre el l\u00edmite de sobrep\u00e9rdida<\/span><\/a><span> presenta un caso contrario, y tendremos que adaptarnos a los cambios que ya est\u00e1n ocurriendo mientras continuamos evitando los peores.
