Ewec advances with Saadiyat RO desalination project: <\/strong>The Emirates Water and Electricity Company (Ewec) received four bids for the for the development and operation of its Saadiyat Island seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) desalination project, according to a statement<\/a>. The project \u2014 the seventh of its kind in Ewec\u2019s portfolio \u2014 aims to produce 273k cubic meters of desalinated water per day. <\/p>\n

What we know: <\/strong>Competing bids include Spanish infrastructure company <\/span>Acciona Agua<\/a>, <\/span>GS<\/a>Inima Environmental<\/a>, French utility <\/span>Engie<\/a>, and a consortium of Spain\u2019s <\/span>FCC Aqualia<\/a> and Egypt\u2019s <\/span>Orascom Construction<\/a>, according to the statement. Some 41 companies and consortiums submitted expressions of interest, with only 19 companies and consortiums qualifying for the request for proposal (RFP) phase.<\/span><\/p>\n

What\u2019s next:<\/strong> Ewec said it expects to award the contract and kick off the execution of the water purchase agreement in 4Q 2024. Commercial operations are slated for 3Q 2027, according to the statement.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve been expecting this:<\/strong> Ewec called on developers in 2022<\/a> to submit offers for two new low-carbon reverse osmosis water plants on the islands of Saadiyat and Hudayriat. Both projects will provide some 455k cubic meters of water a day \u2014 enough to supply up to 180k households. EWEC already operates six reverse osmosis desalination plants.<\/p>\n

Part of a bigger plan:<\/strong> This project is part of EWEC's strategy to produce 90% of water through reverse osmosis (RO) by 2030 and to achieve nearly carbon-free water production by 2031, according to the statement.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
