Summary

Emirates Central Cooling Systems Corporation (Empower), the world's largest district cooling services provider, announced that the number of buildings served by its district cooling services has increased by 8% from last year, reaching a total of 43 buildings during the first half of 2019, with a cooling capacity of more than 56, 000 Refrigeration Tonnes (RT).

Empower has connected its services to major projects in Dubai during the period, including the Royal Atlantis Resort and Residences at Palm Jumeirah, the Dubai Arena and the ICD Brookfield Place in DIFC. Empower has also begun its experimental operation in the Cityland Mall project in Global Village area.

Empower stressed that the increasing demand for its services is mainly due to the high number of new buildings and projects in Dubai, as well as the increased awareness of the benefits of district cooling and its importance in maintaining a safe environment for future generations.

Empower highlighted that district cooling is the ideal cooling solution as it uses up to 50% less energy compared to conventional cooling systems. This contributes up to 50% reduction in energy consumption resulting low maintenance costs, saving money, and contributes to reducing carbon emissions.
