MEED understands the bidders and their prices are:

  • Utico (local): $0.30614 a cubic metre
  • Acwa Power (Saudi Arabia): $0.31784 a cubic metre

The IWP will be developed in two phases, with the commissioning date for the first 60MIGD phase, block A, scheduled for April 2023 and the operation date for the second 60MIGD phase, block B, planned for August 2023.

Dewa will sign a water purchase agreement with the successful bidder. Similar to the fifth phase of Dubai’s Mohammed bin Rashid (MBR) solar park, no sovereign guarantee will be provided for the project.

MEED reported in May 2018 that Dewa had appointed advisers for the Hassyan project. The utility appointed the UK’s EY as lead and financial adviser, UK-based CMS as legal adviser and Canada’s WSP as technical adviser.
