100% energy self-sufficiency at Gaza’s central wastewater treatment plants

28.01.2021

We are proud of our collaborative efforts with CMWU Coastal Municipalities Water Utility مصلحة مياه بلديات الساحل in supporting the rehabilitation of the central El Buriej Central and Sheikh Ajleen Wastewater Treatment Plants in Gaza.

The programme was financed by the German-Palestinian Development Cooperation via KfW Development Bank to contribute towards protecting regional groundwater resources and provide safe sanitation to 1 million people in Gaza and neighbouring communities.

The consultancy services included feasibility studies, investment planning, project concept and detailed design, tendering and evaluation, construction supervision (FIDIC Yellow/Redbook), and operational support.

As part of the design and implementation services, two PV plants (3.5 + 1.2 MW) were developed to optimise operational cost-efficiency and mitigate climate change impacts.
