Abengoa has been selected by Advanced Water Technology (AWT) to jointly develop a large-scale solar-powered desalination plant in Saudi Arabia.
The project incorporates a photovoltaic plant that will be capable of supplying the power required by the desalination process. The desalination plant is expected to produce 60,000 cubic-meters of water a day to supply Al Khafji City in northeastern Saudi Arabia.
AWT is the commercial arm of King Abdulaziz City Science and Technology.
