Request for Expressions of Interest for Taif Independent Sewage Treatment Plant

Request for Expressions of Interest for Taif Independent Sewage Treatment Plant

Vision 2030 recognises the critical importance of ensuring the future reliable provision of sewage treatment services for the quality of life of residents of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (“KSA“).

To meet the sewage treatment requirements Water & Electricity S.M.L.L.C (“WEC”) has commenced a programme to commission a series of new Independent Sewage Treatment Plants (“ISTPs”).

WEC is therefore pleased to invite expression of interest (“EOI”) in respect of the development of a new ISTP with a total ultimate treatment capacity of up to 270,000 m3/day. The ISTP will be located near the city of Taif, in the Mecca Province of KSA (the “Project”).

WEC will conduct a competitive process to select a developer or developer consortium for the development, financing, engineering, procurement, construction, implementation, ownership, operation, maintenance and transfer of the Project, together with associated infrastructure and facilities. Under a 25-year Sewage Treatment Agreement (“STA”) with WEC, the project company to be incorporated to develop the Project will treat the entire sewage capacity supplied by WEC. WEC’s obligations under the STA will be supported by a credit support agreement from the Government of KSA.
