DEWA’s Hassyan Seawater Reverse Osmosis (RO) project is one of the world’s largest seawater RO plants powered by renewable energy.
Implemented under the independent water producer (IWP) model, the project enhances Dubai’s water security and supports the UAE Water Security Strategy 2036 and Dubai’s Integrated Water Resources Management Strategy 2030, promoting a sustainable future for generations to come.
The project embodies the vision and directives of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, to develop advanced and integrated energy and water infrastructure that keeps pace with Dubai’s rapid growth and rising demand for water services, in line with the emirate’s water security and sustainable development objectives.
Located at the Hassyan Complex, the plant will have a production capacity of up to 180 million gallons per day, making it one of the world’s largest seawater RO projects and DEWA’s first IWP project. All phases are scheduled to be completed in the first quarter of 2027, with total investments amounting to AED 3.377 billion.
