Welcome to the website of the International Company for Water and Power Projects (ACWA Power International). We develop independent water and power projects structured on a concession or utility outsourcing contract model financed using a limited recourse, project finance framework.

As a lead developer, ACWA Power International identifies opportunities for which it assembles a consortium of development partners and selects a full spectrum of advisors--technical, legal, environmental, insurance, and tax/financial. ACWA Power International sets out to identify the technical solution, select the EPC and O&M Contractors, prepare a business case and a financial model, structure equity and debt financing, and submit a competitive and comprehensive offer.

To date, this strategy has translated into five mega projects: Rabigh IWSPP, Shuaibah IWPP, Shuaibah Expansion IWP, Marafiq Jubail IWPP and Shuqaiq IWPP. Additionally, ACWA Power International has constructed two, barge-mounted, self-supporting desalination plants. All six projects shall achieve commercial operation by 2010. Once completed, they will produce a total output of 4,850 MW of power and 2.23 million m3/day of desalinated water.

Backed by its enviable record of accomplishment of achievements in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, ACWA Power International is eying opportunities in the GCC region with plans to expand internationally in the nearer future.
