Abengoa SA, a Spanish energy and environment company, will develop the world’s largest solar-powered desalination plant in Saudi Arabia with a local water firm.
The $130 million facility at Al Khafji City in the desert kingdom’s northeast will desalinate 60,000 cubic meters of seawater each day, ensuring a stable supply of drinking water throughout the year, Abengoa said today in a statement. It will build the project in partnership with Advanced Water Technology, a new unit of state-owned technology company Taqnia.
