Saudi Arabia’s Saline Water Conversion Corp. (SWCC) awarded a $384 million contract to Acciona and its partner RTCC to design and construct the Shuqaiq 1 desalination plant on the Red Sea coast, the company said in a statement.
The facility will be equipped with reverse osmosis technology and have a daily capacity of 400,000 cubic meters.
The contract will include civil works on the plant and the supply and installation of electromechanical and electrical equipment.
The plant, which will be Acciona’s fifth desalination build in the Kingdom, is expected to be completed in 2023.
In 2019, Acciona won a $530 million contract for the design, construction, operation, and maintenance for 25 years of the Shuqaiq 3 desalination plant. Currently, it is under construction and due for completion next year.
