Fujairah: The $200 million expansion project for the Fujairah 1 Independent Water and Power Plant kickstarted on Sunday.
Once complete, the expansion will increase the plant's seawater desalination capacity by 30 million imperial gallons per day.
The expansion project is expected to be completed in the first half of 2015.
It will make the Fujairah facility the largest of its kind in the Middle East and will be essential in helping meet rising water demand in Abu Dhabi and the northern Emirates.
