STARTING FULL OPERATION<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Madinah-3, Buraydah-2 and Tabuk-2 achieve PCOD milestone, marking the start of full-scale operations under a long-term green loan framework<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

ACCIONA<\/a><\/strong>, together with its partners Tawzea and Tamasuk, has successfully reached Project Commercial Operation Date (PCOD) for three large-scale sewage treatment plants in Saudi Arabia: Madinah-3, Buraydah-2 and Tabuk-2. This milestone marks the completion of construction works and the official handover to the client, confirming that all systems are operational and ready for service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With PCOD issued for all three plants, the facilities have formally entered commercial operation and are now fully managed by the Operations & Maintenance (O&M) consortium formed by ACCIONA, Tawzea and Tamasuk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This achievement follows the successful financial close in 2022, when ACCIONA\u2019s water business secured its first green loan to support the development of the three projects under Saudi Arabia\u2019s public-private partnership (PPP) model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The three plants will collectively treat 440,000 cubic meters of wastewater per day, significantly boosting water reuse in the Kingdom: Madinah-3 will serve up to 1.5 million people in the greater Madinah area and it will have an initial treatment capacity of 200,000 m\u00b3\/day. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Buraydah-2 will serve around 600,000 inhabitants, including the nearby town of Ash Shimasiya, with a capacity of 150,000 m\u00b3\/day. Tabuk-2, complementing the existing Tabuk-1 ISTP, will serve up to 350,000 people, with a treatment capacity of 90,000 m\u00b3\/day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

SAVING RESOURCES<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The treated water from these plants will be reused primarily for agricultural purposes, reducing pressure on scarce freshwater resources. Expected daily water savings amount to 190,000 m\u00b3\/day at Madinah-3; 142,500 m\u00b3\/day at Buraydah-2 and 85,500 m\u00b3\/day at Tabuk-2.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In total, approximately 95% of the treated water will be allocated to agriculture, while the remaining 5% will be reused at the plant itself<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This initiative is aligned with Saudi Arabia\u2019s Vision 2030 and its strategic objectives to enhance water sustainability, increase resource efficiency, and expand public-private partnerships across critical infrastructure sectors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
