The Emirates Central Cooling Systems Corporation (Empower) has acquired the right to operate the district cooling systems of Dubai International Airport. Operating with a total capacity of 110,000 refrigeration tons (RT) with a value of AED 1.1bn (€277m), five district cooling plants will be linked to Empower's operational, production, distribution, and administrative systems.
