Schneider Electric & Petra Launch Premium Efficiency Chillers for Saudi Arabia's Growing Data Centers
Schneider Electric and Petra Engineering Industries have joined forces to introduce a new line of Premium Efficiency Air-Cooled Chillers tailored for Saudi Arabia's data centers. The signing, led by Mohamed Shaheen, CEO of Schneider Electric in Saudi Arabia, and Eng. Samir Hamed, General Manager of Petra Engineering Industries, aims to bolster the region's data center capacity and support its growing artificial intelligence sector.
Saudi Arabia's data center landscape has seen remarkable growth, doubling its capacity and solidifying its position as a rising AI hub. This expansion is driven by the nation's digital transformation agenda and advancements in AI, leading to unprecedented demand for digital infrastructure. In 2023 alone, data centers in the kingdom grew by 42%.
The new chillers, designed for high efficiency and reliability, are specifically engineered to withstand the region's challenging climate. They aim to reduce energy consumption and carbon emissions, contributing to a more sustainable data center ecosystem. Manufactured locally in Saudi Arabia by both companies, these chillers will ensure faster delivery and responsive technical support, accelerating the rollout of data centers.
The strategic partnership between Schneider Electric and Petra Engineering Industries is set to enhance Saudi Arabia's data center capabilities. The new chillers, produced at Petra's King Abdullah Economic City facility, will support the kingdom's vision for a robust, efficient, and sustainable digital infrastructure.
