The fast-track desalination plant project is expected to be completed in 12 months.
Enowa, the utility arm of Saudi Arabia’s ambitious Neom project, has announced an extension to the bid deadline for a significant new desalination plant contract, reports MEED. Initially set for 22 May, the deadline has now been pushed to the end of September, according to industry sources.
A consortium of Neom subsidiary Enowa, Japan’s Itochu and France’s Veolia signed a JDA for the scheme in December 2022, approximately six months after they signed a memorandum of understanding to develop the renewable-energy powered advanced seawater reverse osmosis project in Oxagon, Neom’s industrial cluster.
The scope of the JDA covers the first phase of the project with a desalination plant that can produce 500,000 cubic metres a day (cm/d) of desalinated water by 2030.
The 600,000 cubic metres per day (m3/day) desalination project, located in the Eastern Province, will also include an electrical substation and is expected to start commercial operations in the first quarter of 2028, SWPC said in a statement last week.
Shares of Va Tech Wabag surged 8.24 percent on Friday, hitting a two-week high of ₹1,394 per share, after the company announced it had secured a significant ₹2,700 crore order from the Saudi Water Authority.
The company announced Wednesday that it has signed an agreement with Saudi Arabia‘s Al Khorayef Group to localize production of reverse osmosis (RO) membranes.
The two companies vowed to commence the construction of the production facility in 2026 to meet increasing local demand for the reverse osmosis (RO) membrane, the device for desalinating water in the Middle East region.
The company announced Wednesday that it has signed an agreement with Saudi Arabia‘s Al Khorayef Group to localize production of reverse osmosis (RO) membranes.
The project is designed to deliver 450,000 cu m/day of potable water using advanced reverse osmosis technology powered by solar energy, in a significant step forward in sustainable infrastructure development.
Valued at $800 million, the contract for the construction and operation of a desalination plant in the capital Dakar was signed in March in the final days of Sall’s presidency.

The Saline Water Conversion Corporation (SWCC) has received bids from at least three groups for the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract to build the planned 1 million cubic metre a day (cm/d) Jubail 2 desalination plant. For the 600,000 cm/d Shuaiba 5 desalination plant, SWCC awarded a contract to the local Rawafid and Advanced Water Technology (AWT) to build the 600,000 cm/d Shuaiba 5 desalination plant.
