What's curious is that there is air conditioning in houses and other establishments anyway. What makes bomb shelters particularly advantageous in escaping the heatwave? Is the government doing this to somehow acclimatize citizens toward using bomb shelters in preparation for something else other than the heat wave?

There is a paragraph about this in the article:

Energy Demand: As people rely more on air conditioning and other cooling equipment during heat waves, the demand for power rises. This puts a burden on the electrical grid, potentially leading to power shortages and blackouts if supply cannot keep up with demand.
