The Emirates Central Cooling Systems Corporation, Empower, is participating at the 11th World Future Energy Summit, WFES, being held from 15th to 18th January 2017 at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre, ADNEC.
The company highlighted the role of energy and water efficiency in the future of sustainable cooling and is also showcasing the latest model of its energy-efficient district cooling plant in Business Bay.
Empower underlined the sustainable features of its district cooling services in line with the highest international standards and the UAE Energy Plan 2050 initiative, which targets to promote a culture of conservation, including consuming 50 percent of power from clean energy by the same year. District cooling is considered by the United Nations as an energy-efficient cooling technology, which helps conserve energy and water resources and cuts the carbon footprint from electricity consumption.
Ahmad bin Shafar, CEO of Empower, said, "Empower is steadfast in promoting the UAE’s global efforts and contribution to sustainable energy management, which is one of the key solutions to addressing excessive carbon emissions. District cooling has played a significant role in reducing the country’s energy footprint through energy-efficient technologies and we continue to build on our expertise by engaging in initiatives and events such as our consistent participation at WFES. We are positive that our presence here creates new opportunities for the sector’s further growth."
