The company has appointed Arabian International Company WLL as the EPC contractor for the project.<\/p><p>Operations are scheduled to begin in summer 2027.<\/p><p>The expansion will add 12,000 Refrigeration Tonnes (RT) of connected cooling capacity to Tabreed\u2019s existing network.\u00a0<span style=\"color: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-weight: inherit; text-align: inherit;\">It forms part of the company\u2019s medium-term cooling plan, built around the pace of new development along the seafront.<\/span><\/p><p>District cooling moves chilled water through a shared network instead of having each building run its own chillers. The model uses less electricity and takes pressure off the national grid during peak summer months.\u00a0<span style=\"color: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-weight: inherit; text-align: inherit;\">In a country where cooling accounts for a large share of electricity demand, that distinction matters.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"color: inherit; font-family: inherit; font-size: inherit; font-weight: inherit; text-align: inherit;\">The project ties into Bahrain\u2019s net-zero targets and the wider effort to reduce emissions in the building sector.<\/span><\/p><p>\u201cDistrict cooling plays a critical role in reducing electricity consumption and improving system efficiency,\u201d said Ali AlRumaihi, Country Manager at Tabreed Bahrain. He framed the project as a response to rising demand in the seafront area.<\/p><p>Rajan Sharma, Managing Director of Arabian International, said the team would deliver the project to standards expected on major infrastructure work in the Kingdom. The Bahrain-based firm has previously worked on utility and infrastructure projects across the public and private sectors.<\/p><p>Manama\u2019s northern seafront is one of the more active development corridors in the city. As residential and commercial space continues to come online, the cooling load grows with it.<\/p><p>How that demand is met \u2014 building by building, or through shared infrastructure \u2014 shapes how much energy the city uses, and how cleanly it grows.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tabreed Bahrain is expanding its district cooling network along the northern seafront of Manama.
