Dubai Holding Community Management partners with Etihad ESCO on energy efficiency

Dubai Holding Community Management has partnered with Al Etihad Energy Services (Etihad ESCO) to advance energy efficiency and sustainability initiatives across residential communities in Dubai.

The two organizations signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to reduce energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions in line with the UAE’s Net Zero by 2050 Strategic Initiative and Dubai’s Demand Side Management Strategy 2050.

The agreement was signed by Francis Giani, CEO of Dubai Holding Community Management, and Dr. Waleed Al Nuaimi, CEO of Etihad ESCO.

Under the partnership, the organizations will collaborate on projects to optimize energy consumption, enhance monitoring and metering systems, and deploy new technologies to improve energy efficiency.

The collaboration will focus on three key areas: implementing energy-efficiency projects, expanding the use of solar energy across communities, and promoting knowledge-sharing to pilot new sustainability initiatives.

“We are delighted to partner with Etihad ESCO to create a positive, long-term impact, driven by a shared, future-focused purpose and aligned with Dubai’s Demand Side Management Strategy 2050,” said Giani.

He added that the partnership combines Etihad ESCO’s technical expertise with Dubai Holding Community Management’s commitment to promoting sustainable utilities, operational practices, and community lifestyles.

Dr. Waleed Al Nuaimi said the collaboration reflects Etihad ESCO’s ongoing efforts to transform Dubai’s built environment through energy efficiency solutions.

“By integrating solar, retrofit, and smart metering technologies, we aim to deliver measurable impact aligned with the Dubai Demand Side Management Strategy and the UAE’s broader sustainability goals,” he said.

Residents, homeowners, and business partners across communities managed by Dubai Holding Community Management are expected to benefit from more energy-efficient systems, greater access to renewable energy, smarter monitoring tools, and increased awareness of their environmental impact.

Dubai Holding Community Management said the partnership supports the UAE’s ambition to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and accelerate its transition to net-zero emissions by 2050.
