A Wave of Transformation
In the vast and arid southwest of Saudi Arabia, the horizon now holds a shimmering beacon of hope — the Shuqaiq 4 desalination plant. ACCIONA has successfully completed the construction and commissioning of this state-of-the-art facility, marking a monumental leap in the region’s water infrastructure. With the capacity to produce 400,000 cubic meters of potable water every single day, it is poised to change countless lives.
This remarkable achievement means that more than 3.5 million people will have access to clean, safe water, drastically improving health, sanitation, and economic opportunities. The plant employs advanced Seawater Reverse Osmosis (SWRO) technology, offering maximum energy efficiency while minimizing environmental impact — a necessary balance in a world increasingly aware of its ecological footprint. From the moment water enters the system to the moment it flows from taps, every drop is a testament to innovation and sustainable vision.
Beyond Shuqaiq 4 — A Vision for the Future
Granted in 2021 to the ACCIONA-RTCC consortium by Saudi Arabia’s Saline Water Conversion Corporation (SWCC), the project serves as a shining example of how strategic partnerships can solve pressing global challenges. But ACCIONA’s journey doesn’t end here. The company is already a linchpin in Saudi Arabia’s ongoing transformation of its water sector, actively building and operating several other facilities.
Among its impressive portfolio are Al Khobar I and II, Shuqaiq 3, and Jubail 3B, collectively raising its desalination output to more than 2.3 million cubic meters per day — enough to supply potable water to over nine million people. In the face of growing population pressures and increasingly harsh climatic conditions, ACCIONA’s work is not only vital but visionary. Step by step, plant by plant, ACCIONA is ensuring that water scarcity transforms into water security for generations to come.
