ACWA Power and Partners to Develop Syria’s Water Infrastructure

ACWA Power, in partnership with the Water Transmission Company (WTCO) and Fichtner, has signed a Technical Services Agreement with the Syrian Ministry of Energy. The agreement aims to assess Syria’s water resources and develop solutions for seawater desalination and water transmission. This marks the beginning of technical studies under the Joint Development Agreement signed in February 2026. The consortium will conduct a comprehensive assessment of Syria’s current water resources, future demand, and long-term requirements. The study will identify priority projects and technical solutions for seawater desalination and related water transmission infrastructure. The scope includes evaluating available water resources, projected demand, potential desalination solutions, and developing a roadmap for future investments. The technical study will be closely coordinated with Syrian authorities, providing a framework for prioritizing future water projects. Mohamed Fata Nahhas, CEO of ACWA Power in Syria, stated that the company will begin detailed technical work to address the challenges and objectives set under the JDA. This agreement enhances ACWA Power’s role in developing Syria’s water infrastructure and could lead to future desalination and water transmission projects. ACWA Power currently manages approximately 9.7 million cubic metres per day of desalinated water capacity across 24 assets in seven countries.
