The utility provider has allowed bidders to submit their proposal by the beginning of August 2023, state-run WAM news agency reported. The IWP is expected to be commissioned by the third quarter of 2026. Sewa will purchase the water produced by the project under a long-term purchase agreement.

He said that seawater desalination meets 80 percent of the total water needs in Sharjah and constitutes a major strategic resource for fresh water in the emirate.
