(MENAFN) ACWA Power Barka announced it has signed a water purchase agreement with Oman Power and Water Procurement Company for the expansion of its existing water desalination capacity by 56.825 cubic meters per day, Times of Oman reported.
The agreement is part of the company's second phase expansion of water capacity, which will be located at Barka, 65 kilometers north of Muscat, and will be constructed adjacent to the company's existing plant, with the additional water capacity produced by the expansion project expected to help in meeting the projected shortfall in the Sultanate's water desalination production capacity and the steadily increasing annual demand for potable water.
ACWA said that it is targeting to complete this expansion and start water production in three phases beginning from the third quarter of 2015 with final commercial operation in the first quarter of 2016.
