National Central Cooling Company, also know as Tabreed, and Abu Dhabi’s renewable energy company, Masdar, have announced that they have signed a service agreement to operate Masdar’s first district cooling plant.
Under the three-year contract, Tabreed will manage the district cooling plant on behalf of Masdar, providing expertise as well as operations and maintenance services, including regular maintenance of onsite equipment, water pumps and other related services through ongoing monitoring, diagnostic and planned maintenance work.
