Saudi gigaproject NEOM’s subsidiary, ENOWA, is set to develop a first-of-its-kind desalination plant that is 100 percent powered by renewable energy.
The desalination plant deal was finalised as part of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) inked between ENOWA, ITOCHU, and Veolia.
The clean energy-run desalination plant will be situated in OXAGON, which is NEOM’s advanced manufacturing and innovation city.
Commenting on the MoU, the chief executive officer at ENOWA, Peter Terium, said: “At ENOWA, our vision is to create a sustainable abundance of life’s most essential elements, all in harmony with nature.
“Partnering with global leaders in sustainable water solutions is key to NEOM’s ambition to become a global benchmark for integrated sustainable water systems.”
Set to produce its early water in 2024, the new desalination facility will be key to realising ENOWA’s ambitions to create a sustainable, abundant water supply for residential, industrial, and commercial use.
