Abu Dhabi: National Central Cooling Company (Tabreed), the Abu Dhabi-based district cooling utility company on Thursday announced that it has recently commenced the supply of chilled water to the Al Hilal Bank tower on Abu Dhabi’s Al Maryah Island.

Tabreed, which acquired the Al Maryah Island district cooling plant in 2014 in a consortium with Mubadala infrastructure Partners (MIP), an infrastructure focused fund investing in the Middle East, North Africa and Turkey, with institutional investors from the GCC region and Asia, will deliver more than 1,600 tons of cooling (RT) to the tower.

Tabreed’s district cooling services will enable the Al Hilal Bank tower to reduce its expected energy consumption by approximately 2.9 million kWh per year compared to conventional cooling. This will lead to the elimination of 2,000 tons of CO2 emissions per year, the company said in a statement.
