Empower awards AED 45 million contracts since so far in 2016

Emirates Central Cooling Systems Corporation (Empower), the world’s largest district cooling services provider in terms of capacity, awarded contracts valued at AED 45 million since the beginning of 2016. These deals will pave the way for a series of new contracts during the year, according to HE Ahmad Bin Shafar, Chief Executive Officer.

“Being the world’s largest district cooling services provider in terms of capacity, we spare no efforts to maintain our leadership position by entering into deals that enhance our operations and develop our business,” commented HE Ahmad Bin Shafar. “We want to make district cooling service accessible to a wider group of customers across the Emirate of Dubai.” 

The contracts serve Empower’s endeavors to extend its district cooling network, building associated infrastructure, and installing individual flow-meters for users, at various key projects in Dubai. Some of these projects are located in Business Bay, Jumeirah Beach Residence, and Dubai Land Residence Complex (DLRC).

“We are utilising our expertise and resources to respond to the increasing demand for district cooling services in Dubai. Our operations are expanding at accelerated pace with focus on vital areas. We have created a robust system to construct and operate cooling plants according to the highest world-class standards. We also keep abreast with all the Dubai future plans, to make sure we are always able to cover the demand in the new projects while maintaining the same quality of service,” added Bin Shafar.

The contracts are part of significant expansion of the company’s operations, which currently occupy a share of more than 70% of the district cooling market in Dubai. “Empower always strives to excellence while developing its operations to cater to the rapidly increasing demand of district cooling across the UAE,” concluded Bin Shafar.

Empower currently operates more than 1 million 100 thousands RT, providing environmentally responsible district cooling services to large-scale real estate developments, such as Jumeirah Group, Business Bay, Jumeirah Beach Residence, Dubai International Financial Centre, Palm Jumeirah, Jumeirah Lake Towers, Ibn Battuta Mall, Discovery Gardens, Dubai Healthcare City, Dubai World Trade Centre Residences and Dubai Design District, among others.
