The construction of a desalination plant in the municipality of Albufeira, whose base value is 90 million euros, is one of the response measures to the drought affecting the southern region of Portugal, with the equipment expected to have an initial water conversion capacity from the sea in the potable capacity of 16 cubic hectometres.
n the early days, Ăguas do Algarve talked about the project costing âaround âŹ50 millionâ. That figure is now âŹ90 million â the funding of which is to be covered by recovery and resilience funding (RRP) from Brussels.

The plan envisages an initial capacity for conversion of seawater into drinking/irrigation water of 16 cubic hectometres (meaning 16 million cubic metres).
In a statement, Ăguas do Algarve said the project â due for completion by the end of 2026 â will be prepared to increase capacity to 24 cubic hectometres per year.

The project to build a desalination plant in the municipality of Albufeira is under public consultation until December 19, Algarve water company Ăguas do Algarve has announced. âThe decision to comply with the EIS (Environmental Impact Study) has been obtained, and we are pleased to inform you that the public consultation is now available, with a deadline to be set from November 6 to December 19 â and it is hoped that it will be widely visited,â reads the note from the company, part of the Ăguas de Portugal Group. The plans can be seen here.
The desalination plant will produce 16 million cubic metres of fresh water, which means more than 20% of the Algarveâs public supply needs, estimated at 72 million cubic metres, says Ăguas do Algarve.

âĂguas de Portugal and Ăguas do Algarve made the decision to increase capacity. The desalination plant we had was a desalination plant that could process eight cubic hectometres, and potentially use up to 16, and now the decision was made to increase the size to be able [âŠ]
