Emirates District Cooling (Emicool) has won a 25-year contract to supply district cooling services for residential buildings within the AKOYA by DAMAC project.
The firm will deliver 15,340 Tonnes of Refrigeration (TR) chilled water from its cooling plant at Hessa Street to the AKOYA site.
Emicool has awarded a AED 50mn ($13.6mn) engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract to Al Nasr Contracting to extend its network to AKOYA.
The new contract, which will cater to more than 2,500 customers once the project is complete, will increase Emicools productive capacity by 5% escalating the refrigerating tonnes per hour (RTH) production to 440 Million RTH by the end of 2017.
Emicool will also supply the British Thermal Unit [BTU] Meters to the AKOYA buildings to monitor and measure the energy usage and carry out billing services once the buildings are occupied.
