Saadiyat Island RO

The Saadiyat Island Reverse Osmosis (RO) Independent Water Project (IWP) consists of standalone greenfield RO seawater desalination plant to be located on Saadiyat Island. The plant will desalinate approximately 60 million imperial gallons per day of seawater, equivalent to 273,000 m3/day.

Saadiyat Island RO will be the seventh RO water desalination project in EWEC’s portfolio once operational, advancing EWEC’s strategic initiative to decouple power and water generation capacity, and supporting the decarbonisation of water and electricity production.

The successful developer or developer consortium will own up to 40 per cent of a special purpose vehicle (SPV), while the remaining equity will be primarily held indirectly by the Abu Dhabi Government.
