Tabreed operates 92 AI-managed plants in 6 countries from Abu Dhabi hub

Tabreed's 92 plants in six countries optimize efficiency with AI, aiming for net-zero by 2050.

"AI will play a pivotal role in enhancing energy efficiency and reducing carbon emissions. - Khalid Al Marzooqi"

Abu Dhabi, May 29

National Central Cooling Company, Tabreed, operates a district cooling network comprising 92 plants across six countries, delivering over 1.3 million refrigeration tonnes to its customers, all centrally managed through its control centre in Abu Dhabi.

Speaking on the sidelines of the World Utilities Congress held at ADNEC in Abu Dhabi, Khalid Al Marzooqi, Chief Executive Officer of Tabreed, said artificial intelligence will play a pivotal role in the next phase of enhancing energy efficiency in district cooling operations and reducing further carbon emissions.

He highlighted that Tabreed is the first district cooling company in the region to collect vast volumes of real operational data over more than 27 years, which has enabled it to accelerate digital transformation and implement AI in its operations. This is demonstrated through its control and monitoring centre located on Saadiyat Island, Abu Dhabi, which remotely oversees and manages all of Tabreed's plants across the six countries.

Al Marzooqi added that reaching this level means full automation of plant operations and activation of 24/7 monitoring and control systems, laying the groundwork for the next step--leveraging AI capabilities to proactively optimise plant performance and align production with cooling demand.

This, he explained, boosts energy efficiency, reduces pressure on power grids, and ultimately enhances the role of district cooling in cutting carbon emissions and supporting global efforts to achieve net-zero emissions by 2050. (ANI/ WAM)

Impressive work by Tabreed! 👏 India should learn from such sustainable cooling solutions, especially in our metro cities where AC demand is skyrocketing. Our government's Smart Cities Mission could benefit from similar AI-driven cooling networks.

While this is technologically impressive, I wonder about the water consumption for district cooling in desert regions. The article mentions carbon reduction but not water efficiency. Sustainable solutions must consider all environmental aspects.

Gulf countries are really leading in smart infrastructure! India-UAE partnerships in renewable energy and cooling tech could be a win-win. Our summers are getting unbearable - we need such innovations yesterday!

The 27 years of operational data is the real gold here. Indian startups in climate tech should note - long-term data collection is key for effective AI implementation. Short-term thinking won't work in sustainability.

Interesting, but how does this compare to traditional AC systems in terms of cost for end consumers? In India, affordability is as important as sustainability for mass adoption.

This shows how Gulf nations are future-proofing their infrastructure. Meanwhile in Delhi, we're still dealing with power cuts during peak summer. When will our cities get this level of smart planning? 😓
