Empower CEO Ahmad Bin Shafar

Dubai, UAE: Dubai-based District Cooling services provider, Empower has announced that it has completed pre-summer preparation works at its District Cooling systems across Dubai to cater to the rapidly increasing demand during the peak summer period.

Explaining how this was achieved, H.E. Ahmad Bin Shafar, Chief Executive Officer, Empower, said, “We leverage on the off-peak winter months to ensure a consistent level of service in the peak time to our around 55,000 customers across the Emirate of Dubai.”

System adjustments for the summer period, the company informed, include updates at Empower’s Command Control Centre (CCC) that effect precise temperature control at units, smart calculators for accurate metering, bulk meter maintenance, and temperature sensor verification, in addition to ensuring the smooth functioning of networks and machineries, and readiness of emergency-reacting measures and tools.

The CCC, said Empower, monitors the activities of its plants, through an advanced, high-performance smart network, and added that it has the capacity to serve additional plants in the future. Empower also revealed that it has plans to connect all its plants and buildings through the Centre later in the year.

Speaking on the issue of environment sustainability, Bin Shafar said: “Our efforts aim to raising the standards of District Cooling globally, by adopting the environment sustainability mechanisms in all operations. We always strive to adopt the highest green standards knowing the fact that district cooling is an ideal alternative to conventional cooling systems as far as reducing the environmental footprint is concerned.”
