SWPC - Shuaibah 3 IWP
Saudi Water Partnership Company (SWPC) is undertaking the construction of a water desalination plant in Shuaibah, Saudi Arabia.
The project involves the redevelopment of a thermal desalination facility into a greenfield SWRO desalination plant which is partially energized by solar photovoltaic (PV).
