KarmSolar launches water solutions division: KarmWater – EgyptToday

CAIRO - 13 September 2021: Solar power developer and distributor KarmSolar has launched its new water solutions division KarmWater, starting with a solar-powered water desalination project in Marsa Alam. The flagship project agreement stipulates building KarmSolar’s first water desalination plant for Marsa Shagra Resort. KarmWater design, build and operate made-to-measure solar-powered desalination stations that provide fresh water to clients through Water Purchase Agreements (WPAs). Water desalination plants are costly to operate due to the high electricity costs associated with the technology. Leveraging KarmSolar’s expertise, solar-powered water desalination plants significantly cut energy costs, thus incurring much lower operational costs for the plant. This makes water desalination much more accessible and attractive to potential clients. "The launch of KarmWater is a major landmark in the growth of the KarmSolar Group.
