Emirates Central Cooling Systems Corporation PJSC (Empower), the world's largest district cooling services provider, reported a 20% increase in district cooling consumption and a 44% rise in contracts in the first half of 2024 compared to the same period in 2023. This growth is attributed to high occupancy rates in existing real estate projects in Dubai and a significant increase in new large real estate projects. Empower's connected capacity reached 1.53 million refrigeration tons (RT), and contracted capacity grew to over 1.72 million RT. The company now holds over 80% of the Dubai district cooling market as of the end of 2023. Empower attributes this growth to customer confidence and the environmental benefits of district cooling.
