Acciona, a global company and a leader in providing renewable solutions, has completed the construction and commissioning of the Shuqaiq 4 desalination plant, located in the southwest of Saudi Arabia.

With a production capacity of 400,000 cu m of water per day, this plant will significantly improve supply in the region, providing a new source of potable water to more than 3.5 million people. 

The plant features state-of-the-art Seawater Reverse Osmosis (SWRO) technology, designed to offer maximum energy efficiency and minimize environmental impact.

This project, awarded in 2021 to the Acciona-RTCC consortium by the Saline Water Authority (SWCC), contributes to meeting the growing water demand in Saudi Arabia, driven by population growth and climatic challenges.

Acciona is currently a key partner in the transformation of the water sector in Saudi Arabia and is building and operating several desalination plants such as Al Khobar I and II, Shuqaiq 3, and Jubail 3B. The company thus raises its total desalination capacity in the country to more than 2.3 million cubic meters per day, enough to supply potable water to more than nine million people. - TradeArabia News Service
