Dubai-based district cooling firm Empower has said that it anticipates saving 350MW of energy by the end of 2013.
According to the company, district cooling systems can help save up to 50% of total power consumption compared with conventional cooling which has allowed them to record a power saving of 320MW through 2012.
Empower CEO, Ahmad Bin Shafar, said: ?District cooling systems have many benefits, and they are very efficient in power consumption, which is absolutely crucial in this region.?
The firm has said that it now has 400,000RT (refrigeration tonnes) of cooling capacity and had connected a total of 320 buildings by the end of 2012. Customers of the firm ? corporate and individual ? rose to 21,000 through last year.
?With Dubai?s population rising each year and billions of dirhams worth of new projects in the pipeline across the emirate, Empower can help accommodate the future district cooling demand of a wide variety of consumers while contributing to the same economic growth of Dubai,? Bin Shafar added.
In the Middle East region, air conditioning accounts for around 70% of total power consumption. Dubai?s own energy consumption has been rising rapidly ? recording a 7.1% average increase through the first quarter of 2013 on the same period last year. Demand on the grid through January of this year rose to 2,142GW, from 2,009GW last year.
