Source basis

ACWA Power's official company profile describes a Saudi-listed infrastructure company headquartered in Riyadh with 111 assets across 16 countries, 98 GW of power capacity, and 9.7 million cubic metres per day of desalinated-water capacity. Its investor overview defines an integrated develop-invest-operate-optimize model. Official Hassyan and Taweelah IWP pages connect that model to long-term water-purchase structures, project-company ownership, EPC consortia, operations, and large SWRO assets. For Ras Mohaisen, ACWA's year-end 2025 report records a 45% effective share, SAR 2.569 billion total investment cost, an under-construction classification and Q4 2029 expected PCOD; its ESIA identifies intake, outfall, seabed trenching, dredging and marine-monitoring interfaces. The profile maps ACWA's sponsor, operator, project-company and marine-utility interfaces. It is not an endorsement or a claim that ACWA self-performs marine construction.
