Va Tech Wabag, a provider of water treatment solutions, announced on Monday that it has won a $100 million contract from Green EPC for a desalination project in Dubai.

The company said in a regulatory filing that it has received an order for around USD 100 million for engineering and procurement services related to the Hassyan seawater reverse osmosis project in the United Arab Emirates, which would produce 120 million gallons per day. The order was obtained from Green EPC, a Utico FZC subsidiary, which is the project's principal EPC contractor, according to the company.

The Dubai Electricity and Water Authority have chosen Utico FZC as the preferred bidder to develop and run the plant over a 35-year term under the independent water producer (IWP) model, in which the authority will off-take 100% of the water produced.

The desalination plant, which would be the largest IWP in Dubai, will be completed in stages by March 2024.

The company said the project is in line with Dubai's Clean Energy Strategy 2050 effort, which intends to optimise the use of green energy for desalination water production. It also hopes to use solar power to supplement the plant's power needs throughout the day.

Va Tech Wabag Ltd is a global Indian corporation based in Chennai, India. The company, which was founded in Breslau in 1924, specialises in water treatment for municipal and industrial customers. The organisation has completed over 6000 projects and has offices in over 30 countries.
