CANNON Artes has secured a new contract to engineer and supply an advanced water treatment plant for the Shuqaiq Power Plant, a 3 GW combined-cycle gas-fired power project in Saudi Arabia’s Jizan region.

The project is being delivered for engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractors Orascom Construction and Técnicas Reunidas, with Saudi Electricity Company (SEC) as the end client.

Located on the Kingdom’s Red Sea coast, the power plant is expected to support growing electricity demand and strengthen the reliability of Saudi Arabia’s power generation infrastructure.

The contract marks another milestone in CANNON Artes’ longstanding collaboration with the two EPC contractors, building on the successful delivery and performance of its water treatment systems for the Hajr Expansion power project.

For Shuqaiq, the company will provide an integrated water treatment solution designed to meet the plant’s operational requirements, combining advanced membrane-based technologies to ensure reliable treated water production while improving efficiency, operational stability and resource management.

The system will incorporate desalination, water purification and polishing technologies, supporting a consistent water supply throughout the facility’s operational lifecycle. Such systems are increasingly important for power infrastructure in water-stressed regions, where water availability and quality are critical to industrial performance.

Mauro Monti, Area Manager at CANNON Artes, said: “This new project represents an important continuation of our collaboration with Orascom Construction and Técnicas Reunidas. The experience gained at Hajr has created a strong foundation for this new cooperation. We are pleased to contribute once again to a major power infrastructure project in Saudi Arabia with a water treatment solution engineered to meet demanding performance and reliability requirements.” -TradeArabia News Service
