Abu Dhabi, July 5, 2009 (WAM) - Water and wastewater treatment specialists Metito are helping to enhance utility supplies in Abu Dhabi, following the construction of a new multi-billion dirham Independent Water '&' Power Plant (IWPP).
UAE Shuweihat S2 Independent Water and Power Project is located near Jebel Dhanna, 250 KMs west of Abu Dhabi city and will have the capacity to supply a population of around 1.5m people with water and power, upon its completion in 2011. The plant is valued at 3.2bn and was initiated by the Abu Dhabi Water '&' Electricity Authority (ADWEA) and Ruwais Power Company, as a way of increasing the city's power and water output.
