ACCIONA will operate and maintain four wastewater plants in different sites in Egypt over the next two years following an agreement signed on 10 October between the company and the Egyptian authorities. The contract is for approximately 7 million euros.
ACCIONA will undertake the rehabilitation of these facilities, located at Abnoub-El Fath (80.000 m3/d), Sodfa-El Ghanayem (30.000 m3/d), El Ayat (30.000 m3/d) and Abu Simbel (6.000 m3/d), all built in 2007. It will also carry out their supply and start-up, as well as the operation and maintenance of the four plants, under the terms of an agreement signed with the National Organization for Potable Water and Sanitary Drainage (NOPWASD).
The treated wastewater will exceed 140,000 m3/day when the four plants are at full capacity. It will be used mainly for agricultural irrigation, increasing the level of water reuse in the country. With these projects, ACCIONA advances in the objectives of its Sustainability Master Plan, in this case, in the efficient use of water from the Nile.
