International Joint Ventures:
In Argentina
In 2007, Mekorot Development & Enterprise began
operating in Argentina, in a joint venture with the
Argentinean water company "5 of September". The strategic
collaboration between the companies includes a wide
range of services, including consulting, planning, project
promotion, training and further education, etc. Together
the companies are promoting a project to design, finance,
build and operate a water treatment plant in the city of La
Plata, with a capacity of 240,000 cubic meters a day. The
construction budget is more than USD 100 million.
In Cyprus
In 2009, Mekorot Development & Enterprise, together
with a local partner from Cyprus (LOGICOM), was awarded
an international BOT tender, for the planning, financing,
construction and operation of a desalination plant in
Limassol, Cyprus. In the framework of the project, the
companies will operate the desalination plant over a period
of 25 years. Upon its completion, the plant will provide
more than 40,000 cubic meters of desalinated water a day
to the Cyprus Water Authority. The project is estimated at
over USD 500 million.
In addition, Mekorot Development & Enterprise was
awarded an international tender to upgrade and operate a
desalination plant in Larnaca. The plant will desalinate 60,000
cubic meters of seawater a day, and it will supply desalinated
water to the Cyprus Water Authority for a period of 27 years.
The project is estimated at approximately USD 400 million.
By means of these two desalination plants, Mekorot will
supply approximately 40% of the water requirements in
Cyprus, which will solve the problem of the severe shortage
of water.
