What We do

AWDC has exclusive rights to operate, manage, and supply district cooling services to the southern part of Al Maryah Island for a period of 30 years, as governed by the concession agreement entered into with the Master Developer of the island, Al Sowwah Square Properties – a developer wholly owned by Mubadala Investment Company.

AWDC’s state-of-the-art district cooling plant has a current cooling capacity of 50,000 refrigeration tons (RT), with a diversified chilled water supply capacity of 72,000 RT, and the potential for increased plant capacity to 80,000 RT (114,000 diversified capacity) to cater for future increase in demand.

Strategically located between Abu Dhabi's existing downtown and new business and residential districts, Al Maryah Island has been designated as Abu Dhabi’s new Central Business District (CBD), which forms a key component of the Urban Planning Council’s Capital 2030 Plan.

A unique 114-hectare mixed-use development, the island features some of Abu Dhabi’s most prominent real estate offerings. Al Maryah Island features luxury retail and dining options, first-class healthcare, and premium hospitality and is home to Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM). The development is designed as a good investment and financial free zone to meet Abu Dhabi’s long-term commercial and community growth needs, and there continues to be demand from investors and private sector developers.
