project signed

The project involves the development of multiutility services including infrastructure, renewable energy and storage, desalination, sewage and waste and district cooling in Saudi Arabia.The first phase of the development will include 16 luxury hotels offering 3,000 rooms on five islands and two inland locations. It will also include entertainment facilities, an airport and necessary support logistics. In addition, the first phase of the Red Sea Public-Private Partnership (PPP) will require a power generation capacity to meet a maximum demand of 197 MW. The power will be generated from solar photovoltaic (PV), wind energy, energy storage batteries and emergency biofuel power. For water production, two seawater reverse osmosis (SWRO) plants with a capacity of 30,000 cu m per day will be developed. The demand will be divided between drinking water, 21,000 cu m per day and the irrigation supplement, 9,000 cu m per day.
