Western Australia's Water Corporation has selected an ACCIONA-led consortium to design, build, operate and maintain the Alkimos Seawater Desalination Plant (ASDP) in Perth, Australia.

The plant's initial capacity in Stage 1 will be 150,000 m³ per day, with an additional 150,000 m³ per day available in Stage 2 as needed. The Stage 1 design and construction project is set to provide drinking water by 2028, as part of a broader Water Corporation program worth AU$2.8 billion (US$ 1.8 billion) aimed at ensuring access to drinking water for millions of Western Australians. The project will be carried out as an alliance involving Water Corporation, ACCIONA, and Jacobs, prioritizing safety and well-being during implementation while also integrating sustainability into the plant's design, construction, and operations. The commissioning of the Alkimos Seawater Desalination Plant (ASDP) within the Alkimos Water Precinct will assist the region in managing the challenges posed by declining rainfall and population growth.
