The Telangana government has signed up with Tabreed, a cooling utilities company based out of Abu Dhabi, to change the cooling landscape in the state.
The partnership will see the development of top-tier cooling infrastructure for industrial and commercial parks, starting with the largest district cooling Public-Private Partnership (PPP) project in Asia, for Hyderabad Pharma City (HPC).
Tabreed is set to invest up to $200 million to develop 1,25,000 RT of district cooling plants and networks. This initiative will provide sustainable long-term cooling services through a utility cooling-as-a-service model for process cooling and storage requirements of industrial units.
Meanwhile, Sudheer Perla, Country Head of Tabreed India, echoed these sentiments, stating that the partnership aims to showcase the benefits of district cooling to drive sustainable infrastructure development in the region.
