Saudi Tabreed will design, construct, finance, own, operate and maintain a centralized cooling plant and a network to supply chilled water to the Saudi Aramco buildings with a cooling capacity of 27,000 tons refrigeration.
The district cooling basically is generating chilled water from one or multiple sources and distributing to cluster of buildings in the same district using pre-insulated pipe network.
Mohammed Abunayyan, chairman of Saudi Tabreed, said: “This project reflects the keenness of Saudi Aramco to maintain the environment. By using a district cooling system, which consumes half the electrical energy consumption as compared to that for traditional methods of cooling.”
Nabeel Abdullah Al-Jama, executive director of community services at Saudi Aramco mentioned that the deal gives a chance to private sector to invest and work in Saudi Aramco projects, which will reflect positively on the national economy.
