On the highlights of Tabreed’s operations until September 30, 2017, the communiqué stated that 1.2 billion kWh of electricity were saved across the GCC region, which prevented a release of almost 590,000 tonnes of CO2 emissions.

Speaking on the occasion, Khaled Abdulla Al Qubaisi, Chairman of Tabreed, said: “Tabreed’s continuing growth for the third quarter of 2017 reinforces our position as a leading and best-in-class district cooling company. It reiterates the confidence of our shareholders in our ability to execute on our strategy and deliver consistent results.”

Jasim Husain Thabet, CEO at Tabreed, added: “Our ongoing growth reflects our commitment to meet the region’s growing demand for energy-efficient and environmentally-friendly cooling solutions. At the same time, we remain focused on shareholder value and are proud of the recent certification of Tabreed’s stock as Shari’a-compliant, which should contribute to an expanded shareholder base.
