Construction of the largest reverse osmosis desalination plant in Saudi Arabia to date, Rabigh 3 IWP

February 25, 2022

Abengoa has exceeded 85 % progress in the construction of Rabigh 3 IWP, the largest reverse osmosis desalination plant in Saudi Arabia (600,000 m3/d) to date, based in Rabigh. The engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contract for the project was awarded to a consortium of Abengoa, SEPCOIII (Power China) and SIDEM (Veolia) in 2018.

ACWA Power, a leading developer, investor and operator of power generation and desalinated water plants worldwide, was selected as the owner and operator of Rabigh 3 IWP following the submission of the lowest water tariff at 0.53USD/m3. Upon completion, the desalinated water will be supplied to the state-owned Saudi Water Partnership Company (SWPC).
