Acosol tenders the improvement of energy efficiency in the Marbella desalination plant for 10 million euros

The public company for the management of the complete water cycle, Acosol, has put out to tender the drafting of the project and construction work for the improvement of energy efficiency at the Marbella Desalination Plant (EDAM), being a comprehensive project that will involve an investment of 10,139,800 euros and a timeframe of 22 months, as reported this Wednesday by the president of the Western Costa del Sol Municipalities Association, Manuel Cardeña.

The representative of the joint entity explained that it is “a significant investment” and “a sure bet” for the EDAM of Marbella, following the two expansion phases being carried out by the Andalusian Regional Government, which is nearing the completion of its second phase to reach 20 cubic hectometers per year.

“We will have a desalination plant in full operation by 2025 and for this, from Acosol we want to do it in the most efficient way for energy saving for the environment and economically for the public water company,” he highlighted.

The goal of this project, whose tender has a deadline until April 4, 2025, for the submission of bids, is to optimize energy consumption in the water treatment line with an annual average, taking into account the annual reference production and the starting data provided, which has to be at least 1.40 kWh/m³.
