Sydney Desalination Plant Pty Limited

Sydney Desalination Plant Pty Limited is an Australian company that plays a crucial role in ensuring the resilience of Sydney's water supply, providing up to 250 megalitres per day of drinking water, which accounts for 15% of the city's water needs. The plant was constructed between 2008 and 2010 in response to the millennium drought and operated successfully for two years. Following a period of high water levels in storage dams, the decision was made to place the plant in a state of long-term preservation to prepare for the next drought. A tornado caused extensive damage to the plant in late 2015, leading to a thorough inspection and reinstatement process that was completed successfully in late 2018. After seven years of preservation, the plant was successfully restarted in January 2019 and currently continues to support Sydney's water supply. Operating in the Renewable Energy and Water sectors, this company has proven to be a vital asset in securing Sydney's water resources.
