1. The document discusses creating national will to achieve the national destiny and purpose set by GCC country leaders, including reducing energy demand and emissions. 2. It presents district cooling as a way to efficiently cool different building types and proposes various investment options for states, recommending public-private partnerships and third party investments. 3. A decision matrix compares investment alternatives based on economic and financial factors, concluding that a third party investment using a BOOT method is most suitable.

10. Recommended common driver to be agreed on by ministries within each GCC
state to circulate the application of District Cooling in their respective states
Economic Driver
1
Reduce State’s initial capital project investments
2 3
Reduce substantially electricity Lower domestic oil consumption
subsidies by respective states as fuel substantially
Environmental Driver
4
Reduce CO2 emission & gases affecting the Ozone
Social Driver
5
Enhance work opportunities for the nationals and reduce substantially
demand on expatriate workers for building maintenance
6

14. Maximizing competency in using fossil energy &
alternative renewable energy
• Maximize competency in generation & utilization of energy. Minimize fossil fuel &
maximize alternative renewable energy in both demand side & supply side of
energy.
• Implementation of integration of infrastructure to include productions of
electricity in new cities, allowing exchange of power between the city energy
production & the national power grid to be utilized incase of emergency on both
side.
• Where possible to provide oil or natural gas fuel, recommend in industrial
complexes, oil facilities or commercial projects will produce their own
electricity integrated with own infrastructure services, where possible give
incentives to use renewable energy & provide exchange with national grids through
buy & sell protocol or for emergency requirement.

15. IDEA International District Energy Association
Goals
• Facilitate networking and exchange of information among members.
• Enhance educational opportunities for district energy professionals.
• Assist members in marketing the benefits of district energy services.
• Secure favorable policies, legislation and regulations for district energy.
Propose action plan to develop GCC Acts & Regulations
For District Cooling & District Energy
GCC District Cooling companies, members of IDEA to agree on a meeting to
be held in one of the GCC cities, form a committee to select a capable
reputable consultant well experienced in District Cooling to draft proposal :
GCC Acts & Regulations
For District Cooling & District Energy
The proposed draft will be sent to IDEA for review as well as will be sent to
state by state to government departments likely to be of interests to
regulate District Cooling application in the state & would be potentially
active in the regulation committee in local state level or national GCC level.

16. Salient feature of developing regulated policies & legislations
1. Any regulating policies & legislations such as Acts, Regulations & Statutories or
any contracts shall be based on fair contract fundamental between the parties
and at no circumstances to be developed on partial or one sided.
2. The policies & legislations to encourage use of thermal storage system &
alternative renewable energy and to allow integration of infrastructures and
power generation on district or city basis.
3. Regulations to include reference to reputable codes such as ASHRAE , latest
technology & up to-date best technical & business practices relating to District
Cooling or District Energy systems.
4. Encourage research & developments. Encourage District Cooling or District
Energy Utility Provider to invest in new technologies & systems which will
lower kw/Ton.
5. Possibly the States will issue legislation from time to time to set up tariff &
fees per sectors by which it will be a criteria for bidders or concession
seekers to invest in District Cooling systems.
6. In the study made for Kuwait, the consortium highly recommended to use
thermal storage tanks to support fire fighting efforts & in case of national
emergency or god forbidden natural disasters.
