## Project summary
The ACWA page titles the asset “Shuaibah 2 IWP (STPC),” while its description uses “Shuaibah-3 Expansion II – IWP Project”; it does not explain the naming difference. The page describes a 250,000 m³/day seawater reverse-osmosis plant at Shuaibah Complex, 120 km south of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. It names ACWA Power as developer and 100% owner, reports construction by an Abengoa–Fisia Italimpianto joint venture, and names ACWA subsidiary NOMAC (WDEC) as operator. The source reports completion 21 months after off-taker agreements were signed and gives a Q2 2019 commercial operations date.
## Evidence limits and unknowns
- The source reports project cost as $314 million in the description and US$312 million in the key facts; it does not reconcile the difference.
- Current procurement or tender status and any active supplier package are not established in the supplied source; it reports a Q2 2019 commercial operations date.
Current purchasing availability: unknown.
Source-dated plans do not establish current progress or available supplier packages.
