DUBAI, April 8, 2018

Emirates Central Cooling Systems Corporation (Empower) said it had registered a steep increase in the number of customers which surged to 85,000 by the end of 2017, compared to 65,000 the year before.

Bin Shafar said he expects 2018 to witness an increase in Empower’s number of customers, especially in light of the increasing demand for district cooling services, and the signing of many agreements with developers and building owners in this regard.

He stressed that district cooling systems have proven ability to reduce energy consumption, and achieve significant savings. This supports ongoing efforts to build a green economy and move towards smart cities, in line with the sustainable development goals, he added.
