Tabreed To Invest $200 Million To Set Up Asia’s Largest District Cooling Project
In a significant development for sustainable infrastructure and environmental responsibility, Tabreed, an Abu Dhabi-based cooling-as-a-service provider, has unveiled plans for a massive $200 million investment. This investment is directed towards the development of a cutting-edge cooling infrastructure with a capacity of 125,000 refrigeration tons (RT) for Hyderabad Pharma City, a burgeoning hub for the pharmaceutical industry in India.
Tabreed’s leadership, represented by its India head Sudheer Perla, engaged in discussions with a state government delegation led by Telangana IT and Industries Minister K T Rama Rao and Jayesh Ranjan, Secretary of IT and Industries for the Government of Telangana, to solidify their commitment to this transformative initiative. This endeavor marks a milestone in public-private cooperation, particularly in the domain of cooling services, with the goal of offering a groundbreaking model to multiple customers within a single campus.
One of the standout features of this initiative is its commitment to environmental sustainability. Tabreed estimates that this cost-effective cooling model will lead to significant reductions in power consumption and water usage. Specifically, it is expected to save a staggering 6,800 GWh of power and 41,600 mega liters of water over its lifespan. Additionally, it will contribute to lowering greenhouse gas emissions by saving 6.2 million tonnes of carbon dioxide. These numbers underscore the project’s potential to make a substantial positive impact on the environment and promote a greener and healthier community.
Sudheer Perla highlighted the significance of prioritizing cooling as a key component of environmental action. Through measures such as cool roof policies and energy-efficient district cooling, this project aligns with Telangana’s ambitious vision of achieving net-zero emissions by 2047. By taking substantial steps towards sustainability, Hyderabad Pharma City and its collaborators are shaping a brighter, greener future for their communities and contributing to the global effort to combat climate change.
In addition to its commitment to Hyderabad Pharma City, the Telangana government has also signed an MOU with Tabreed to explore district cooling infrastructure in existing and upcoming commercial districts, notably in Cyberabad and mixed-use development areas. This expansion has the potential to reduce over 200 MW of peak electricity demand, resulting in a remarkable reduction of 18 million tons of CO2 emissions over a 30-year period. Furthermore, it will help mitigate the heat island effect, ultimately bolstering Hyderabad’s reputation as one of the world’s premier cities.
