Dewa will purchase the desalinated water at a price of around USD 0.365 per cbm \u2014 the lowest bid the UAE company received. The agreement was signed by Dewa CEO Saeed Al Tayer, and Acwa Power Chairman and Founder Mohammad Abunayyan.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Project details:<\/strong> The facility has a capacity of <a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/climate\/en\/news\/story\/7639b92a-e95d-4bf5-a619-35958918efb9\">681.4k cbm per day<\/a> and is set to be one of the largest sea water reverse osmosis plants powered by solar energy. Phase 1 will begin commissioning in 2026. The project is Dewa\u2019s first to be carried out under an Independent Water Producer (IWP) model, and is part of its efforts to increase its water desalination capacity to 730 mn imperial gallons per day by 2030, up from the current 490. Once completed, Dewa will have an output of 670 mn imperial gallons per day.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What they said: <\/strong>\u201cThis project supports UAE\u2019s vision to produce 100% of desalinated water by a mix of clean energy and waste heat by 2030,\u201d Al Tayer said, according to the statement.<\/p>\n<p><strong>REMEMBER: Acwa Power was selected to construct and operate the Hassyan plant last month: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/climate\/en\/news\/story\/7639b92a-e95d-4bf5-a619-35958918efb9\">Dewa tapped Acwa Power in August<\/a> to construct and operate the AED 3.4 bn (USD 914 mn) solar-powered desalination project in Hassyan.
