ACCIONA and its partners Tawzea and Tamasuk have announced the achievement of the Project Commercial Operation Date (PCOD) for three large-scale sewage treatment plants in Saudi Arabia: Madinah-3, Buraydah-2 and Tabuk-2.
The milestone marks the completion of construction works and the official handover to the client, confirming that all systems are operational and ready for service, said ACCIONA in a statement.
With the PCOD issued for all three plants, the facilities have formally entered commercial operation and are now fully managed by the Operations & Maintenance (O&M) consortium formed by ACCIONA, Tawzea and Tamasuk. The achievement follows the successful financial close in 2022, when ACCIONA’s water business secured its first green loan to support the development of the three projects under Saudi Arabia’s public-private partnership (PPP) model, the statement added.
According to ACCIONA, the three plants will collectively treat 440,000cu/m of wastewater per day, significantly boosting water reuse in the Kingdom. The treated water from these plants will be reused primarily for agricultural purposes, reducing pressure on scarce freshwater resources. Expected daily water savings amount to 190,000cu/m per day at Madinah-3; 142,500cu/m per day at Buraydah-2 and 85,500cu/m per day at Tabuk-2.
Madinah-3 will serve up to 1.5m people in the greater Madinah area and it will have an initial treatment capacity of 200,000cu/m per day. Buraydah-2 will serve around 600,000 inhabitants, including the nearby town of Ash Shimasiya, with a capacity of 150,000cu/m per day. Tabuk-2 will complement the existing Tabuk-1 ISTP, and will serve up to 350,000 people, with a treatment capacity of 90,000cu/m per day, ACCIONA explained.
In total, approximately 95% of the treated water will be allocated to agriculture, while the remaining 5% will be reused at the plant itself
This initiative is aligned with Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 and its strategic objectives to enhance water sustainability, increase resource efficiency, and expand public-private partnerships across critical infrastructure sectors, ACCIONA concluded.
