Emirates Central Cooling Systems Corporation (Empower) has announced the commencement of operations of its new district cooling plant in Dubailand, that has a cooling capacity of 47,000 refrigeration tonnes (RT).

 

The new plant will serve the residential community of the Dubai Land Residence Complex (DLRC), one of the prominent residential destinations in the city that features many modern facilities including green parks, libraries, mosques, hotels, educational institutes, medical facilities and shopping centres. 

 

With this, the number of buildings connected to the new plant in Dubailand is set to reach more than 250, including mixed-use buildings.

 

Last year, Empower had awarded a construction and outfitting contract worth AED193 million for the new plant in Dubailand, which is one of the next-generation modern and eco-friendly plants that leverages international standards and technologies.

 

Empower CEO Ahmad bin Shafar said: "We were keen to complete the plant with modern specifications and in a record time that did not exceed a year, thanks to the efforts of our teams to continue increasing the levels of quality and competitiveness in providing service to the customers."

 

Empower will fulfill its core and firm commitment to enhance Dubai's economy and continue to provide quality and environmental-friendly district cooling services with international specifications to support the emirate's leading role in sustainable developments, he added.-TradeArabia News Service
