dubai’s Empower Reports Record Revenue as Real Estate Boom Drives Demand for District Cooling

Dubai’s leading district cooling provider, Emirates Central Cooling Systems Corporation (Empower), announced robust financial results, signaling a strong correlation between the emirate’s thriving real estate market and the demand for sustainable cooling solutions. The company reported revenue of AED2.586 billion (US$704.15 million) for the third quarter of 2025, a 5.5 percent increase, alongside an EBITDA of AED1.169 billion (US$318.3 million),up 4 percent.

Did you know? – District cooling is more efficient than traditional air conditioning, reducing energy consumption and carbon emissions by centralizing cooling production.

Sustained Growth Driven by Dubai’s Expansion

The positive performance is attributed to the significant growth in Dubai’s real estate sector and the increasing number of new advancement projects, according to a company release. Empower has benefited from the broader adoption of its environmentally friendly district cooling solutions as developers and building owners prioritize sustainability. Pre-tax net profit reached AED757 million (US$206.1 million), representing a 5.3 percent year-over-year increase.

“Empower’s strategic approach is guided by the vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, who has made sustainability a core pillar of the nation’s complete development journey,” stated a senior official.

The company’s CEO emphasized the resilience of their expansion plans and their ability to capitalize on the continued growth of Dubai’s real estate sector and other vital industries. Empower has secured numerous new contracts recently to supply cooling to Dubai’s most prominent projects and is actively constructing new plants in key areas to meet the rising demand.

Why is empower doing well? Empower’s success is directly tied to Dubai’s booming real estate market. Increased construction and development translate to higher demand for cooling services, notably sustainable options like district cooling.

Pro tip: – When evaluating cooling options, consider long-term costs. District cooling often has lower operating expenses than individual AC units.

Over the 12-month period from October 2024 to September 2025, Empower’s consolidated revenue totaled AED3.395 billion (US$924.4 million), a notable increase from AED3.217 billion (US$875.8 million) during the same period last year. EBITDA for the year reached AED1.596 billion (US$434.6 million), compared to AED1.512 billion in the previous year.

The third quarter of 2025 saw a significant surge in Empower’s operations, with the signing of 52 new contracts to provide over 56,000 refrigeration tons (RT) to various projects and buildings. This brought the total number of contracts secured during the first nine months of the year to 138, with a total contracted capacity reaching 1.92 million RT.

In August, empower secured a contract to design a new district cooling plant at Dubai Science Park, boasting a total cooling capacity of 47,000 RT. The new facility is slated to serve nearly 80 mixed-use buildings in the area, with construction scheduled to commence by the end of the first quarter of 2026.
