MEW – Kuwait to seek energy efficient solution for district cooling

In the wake of a demand for effective and efficient technologies for Kuwait’s cooling needs, Fleming Gulf’s utility division announced its Power and District Cooling Summit which is being hosted under the esteemed patronage of The Ministry Of Electricity & Water, Kuwait. The summit will take place on 29 April – 01 May 2012 at JW Marriott in Kuwait

Eng. Ahmed Khaled Al-Jassar, Undersecretary and Dr. Mishan Al Otaibi – Assistant Undersecretary Planning and Training stated – “The Ministry of Electricity and Water fully recognises the value of District Cooling to Kuwait both as a major contribution to sustainable energy policy and as an industrial diversification opportunity“

The first district cooling plant was built in the 1960's in Kuwait but was not used widely as energy consumption was not very high. But now, with a rapid growth in population and urbanization, Kuwait’s energy demand has also increased drastically. According to latest reports, the demand for power in Kuwait will raise up-to 10,500 MW in the upcoming summer and is expected to reach 25,000MW in the time to come.

With temperature hitting 50 degree Celsius during peak summers, air conditioners consume most of Kuwait’s power production. Investing in district cooling technology projects, Kuwait’s energy consumption can be reduced by at least 40% - 60% annually as compared to conventional cooling systems. The added benefit of lowering CO2 emissions also reinforces the use of this technology.

Highlighting region specific insights from Kuwait, UAE & KSA, the summit will also cover various topics such as power security through district cooling based energy conservation, promoting renewable energy utilisation through District Cooling, efficient utilisation of thermal energy storage and more.

With WARTSILA the official Headline sponsor, companies like Equate, TAS, SPIG, Nalco, Sipos Aktorik, Saia Burges, Kamstrup, Belven, Hamon and Carrier have shown keen interest and partnered with this event to showcase their expertise in the field of district cooling and how their technologies can help the State of Kuwait gain from this revolutionary technology.
