Emirates Central Cooling Systems Corporation (Empower), the world’s largest district cooling services provider, has signed a contract to design a new district cooling plant at Dubai Science Park.

The new plant will have a total production capacity of 47,000 Refrigeration tonnes (RT) and will serve nearly 80 mixed-use buildings in the area.

The project is part of Empower’s expansion strategy to meet the rising demand for energy-efficient district cooling services in key areas of Dubai.

The construction is scheduled to begin by the end of the first quarter of 2026.

Dubai Science Park is the Middle East's first free zone, dedicated to the science sector, hosting hundreds of companies and more than 3,000 specialised professionals. It functions as a science community and an interactive hub for entrepreneurs, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), and multinational corporations engaged in scientific research. The park is also a key destination for fostering business growth within a flexible environment that supports research, creativity, and innovation.

Empower stated that the Dubai Science Park district cooling plant will be built and operated incorporating advanced and award-winning innovative technologies developed by the company.
