Empower seals Wasl district cooling services deal

DUBAI, May 30, 2018

Emirates Central Cooling Systems Corporation (Empower) said it has signed an agreement with wasl Asset Management Group to provide 3,900 refrigeration tonnes (RT) of district cooling services to its prime property Wasl Tower.

A 300-m-tall structure located on Sheikh Zayed Road, the 64-storey Wasl Tower features one of the world’s tallest ceramic facades, and that includes offices, a hotel and residential units. The tower will be ready for handover by 2020, said a statement from Empower.

CEO Ahmad bin Shafar said: "Empower is in the process of serving more leading real estate projects and aims to provide all Dubai sectors residential, commercial and entertainment facilities with district cooling services that have sustainable international standards."

The Wasl Tower, he stated, will be served from Empower's district cooling plant at Business Bay.

According to him, the work to connect the building has already started, and will be delivered in the last quarter of 2019.

"The infrastructure for the district cooling system in the tower will connect the building to Empower’s cooling plants in Business Bay, on the opposite side of Wasl Tower. They will be linked through the construction of a network using state-of-the-art technology to connect pipes via a tunnel under Sheikh Zayed Road," added Bin Shafar.

Wasl Asset Management CEO Hesham Al Qassim said: "It is our pleasure to partner with Empower to have district cooling systems with environmentally sustainable specifications that support the environmental approach and sustainable development objectives of Dubai installed in our tower."

"This will further enhance the sustainable real estate sector in the UAE," he added.-TradeArabia News Service
