The project is situated in the Western Province of the country on the Red Sea coast and is estimated to be built with an investment of SR2.54bn.
The project’s financial closure is anticipated to occur in the third quarter of this year.
ACWA Power is presently managing the Rabigh 3 IWP project, which is the first desalination plant of its size in the private sector, in the same area.
The addition of the Rabigh 4 IWP project will allow ACWA to double its desalination capacity in the area to 1.2 million m³/day, as well as 6.8 million m³/day across its portfolio.

By GlobalDataACWA chair Mohammad Abunayyan said: “We are pleased with the continuous progress on the project, which further expands our presence in the key Rabigh region, which supplies water to the two holy cities.
“In the last month, during a record-breaking Hajj season, we have reliably supplied from our plants over two-thirds of the water demand in the holy sites, and I am thankful to all our colleagues who have spent time away from their families so that 2.5 million worshippers could safely perform their pilgrimage.”
