Emirates District Cooling (Emicool), a leading district cooling service provider in the region and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dubai Investments, said work is progressing well on the district cooling plant at the Expo 2020 site.

Once completed, the plant will have a total productive capacity of 60,000 tonnes of refrigeration (RT)  across all phases, said Emicool.

The Expo Village, Dubai South Mall, and the Conference and Exhibition Centre at the Expo site as well as the Roads & Transport Authority (RTA) station and the Project Star mall area will be covered by the district cooling plant.

The artificial intelligence element incorporated into the design has afforded the plant a dynamic presence given its unique shape. Phase One of the plant is currently operational, providing 20,000 RT, it added.

 Emicool’s energisation of the RTA stations for the Expo line 2020 is in anticipation of three mega metro stations: DWTC, DIP, and the Golf State, said a top official.

 “Emicool’s strategic partnership is in line with the company’s ambitious plans and strategies and its commitment to being an integral part of Expo 2020,” remarked its CEO Dr Adib Moubadder.

“With the concept of sustainability integrated into the planning of the site and its use, both during and after the Expo, and in line with the optimisation of the sustainability of the buildings and the infrastructure, careful evaluation of the providers was undertaken,” he stated.

Emicool said with the current total operating capacity of 355,000 TR from its plant within DIP and MotorCity, it provides district cooling services to DIP, Dubai Motor City, Dubai Sports City, Uptown Mirdif, Palazzo Versace, Damac Hills and Mirdiff Hills, Night Souk by Nakheel, RTA Metro Stations (Expo line), and DWTC at the Expo 2020 site.
