Highlights

  • Sectoral monthly power demand in Brazil is studied with dynamic econometric models

  • Power demand responds non-linearly to thermal discomfort

  • Economic growth triples the additional energy demand required to adapt

  • Additional 9% - 18% of power demand is required circa 2050 depending on the SSP and RCP

  • Adaptation-induced additional power demand varies remarkably by region and season
