Empower saves 4.8% more energy in the second month (July)

The Emirates Central Cooling Systems Corporation (Empower) announced the saving of 4.8% more energy, comparing to the same period last year, during the second month (July 2016) of its summer campaign ‘Saving Starts at 24°C’. The outreach campaign targets all of Empower’s customer segments and aims to reduce district cooling as well as electricity consumption and protect the environment resources.

The campaign was launched at the beginning of the summer season targeting all customers in the residential and commercial segments. It aims to raise awareness levels and give insights to customers on ways of rationalizing the consumption of district cooling specially that consumption increases during summer period. Empower offered its customers many  tips to reduce the consumption of district cooling, such as setting the indoor temperature on air conditioners to 24°C, the ideal temperature to use air conditioners without wasting energy while not compromising on indoor comfort. This reflects on the efficiency of the services and the reduction of both electricity and district cooling bills.    

“We are proud of the achievements so far of our summer campaign not only on the level of rationalizing consumption percentages, but more importantly our success in influencing positively our valued customers by ensuring their wide participation in our campaign. This saves the natural resources that we consider a joint responsibility we bear along with our customers,” said HE Ahmad bin Shafar, Chief Executive Officer of Empower.

“The campaign will continue until the end of the summer, backed by the confidence of our customers whom we always strive to achieve their satisfaction. We also develop tips for best ways of consumption and the rationalization of energy to achieve the vision of our wise leadership, which stresses on the importance of adopting initiatives and awareness campaigns, to preserve the environment and ensure sustainable future,” added Bin Shafar.

“Our success motivates us towards activating many campaigns in the future so that we achieve positive results at the level of improving the quality of service, rationalization of consumption, and development of innovative systems for further advancement of the cooling technology and its application,” added Bin Shafar.
