The Highflyers
Tabreed first became known in the UAE during 1998 when the National Central Cooling Co. (PJSC), Tabreed, was established. At that time, the concept of district cooling was new to most people in the region. The initial scepticism concerning whether the Gulf market was ready for this innovation and whether it could be made commercially viable is now history and Tabreed has become one of the world’s largest district cooling utilities. As of March 2010, Tabreed’s total installed cooling capacity is over 422,000 tonnes across 40 district cooling plants. The company expects nine further plants to be in production in 2010. Tabreed provides district cooling services throughout the GCC countries with offices in Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Ras Al Khaimah, Doha, Manama, Khobar and Muscat, and is thus a magnificent example of a UAE entity penetrating internationally with a cutting-edge technology application.
