The Dubai Electricity and Water Authority (DEWA) has crossed the 96.5 percent construction milestone on its sea water reverse osmosis (SWRO) desalination plant at the Jebel Ali Power Plant and Water Desalination Complex.

The $244 million (AED 897 million) plant, which will have a production capacity of 40 million imperial gallons per day (MIGD) of desalinated water, is being implemented by a consortium led by Spain’s Acciona Agua and Belhasa Six Construct (BeSIX).

The managing director and CEO of DEWA, Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer, said that the project started water production to the network in March 2021.
