TOKYO: Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Thermal Systems, Ltd., has signed an agreement with Emirates Central Cooling Systems Corporation PJSC (Empower), the world’s largest district cooling services provider, to supply large-scale centrifugal chillers to Empower’s district cooling plants in Dubai.
Under the agreement, MHI Thermal Systems will supply 18 advanced chillers for delivery in early 2025. The chillers will be used in three District Cooling System (DCS) plants and will supply chilled water for cooling residential, commercial, healthcare, educational and multi-use projects.
The latest contract, following a previous order for large-scale centrifugal chillers in 2021, is a significant step towards Dubai’s long-term strategies. These strategies aim to achieve substantial savings in electricity, water, and transport fuel consumption, with a target of at least 30 percent by 2030 and 50 percent by 2050.
MHI Thermal Systems President ITO Yoshihiro commented: “We are proud that Empower has once more chosen MHI Thermal Systems’ chillers for these latest projects. We will continue implementing our advanced solutions to Empower’s DCS plants so that our partnership will also contribute to Dubai and the UAE’s carbon emissions reduction strategy.”
According to MHI, Empower CEO Ahmad Bin Shafar emphasized that such deals reduce environmental impact and pave the way for a more sustainable tomorrow.
Empower, as the world’s largest district cooling services provider, is a key player in Dubai’s sustainability efforts. Responsible for more than 80 percent of the city’s district cooling capacity, it supplies chilled water for cooling from 87 district cooling plants.
