The Emirates' Federal Electricity and Water Authority (Fewa) is to build four desalination facilities over the next ten years at a cost of more than Dh 3 billion (US$ 750 million) to produce 600 Ml/d.

 

Fewa director general, Mohammed Saleh said expected water needs were to hit 1,000 Ml/d by 2030, "Fewa, to supply this amount, is to build four sea water desalination stations, worth Dh3.220 billion," reported regional newspaper Khaleej Times.

 

"The first of these stations, worth Dh 950 million (US$ 260 million) is to be built in the emirate of Umm Al Quwain in the second half of this year and begin operation in 2020 with a daily capacity of 180 Ml."

 

Saleh was reported to have said a second station, worth Dh 660 million (US$ 170 million) was planned in the emirate of Ajman in the first quarter of 2017 to start operation in 2020 with a daily capacity of 120 Ml. A third station, identical in size and cost to the second, was planned for Ras Al Khaimah in the first quarter of 2022 with operation starting in 2026.
