Sonatrach oversees construction progress at the Mostaganem desalination plant

The CEO of Sonatrach conducted an inspection visit to the Sidi El Adjel seawater desalination plant project in the wilaya of Mostaganem. The visit aimed to monitor the execution of national infrastructure programs launched by the President. Officials noted that the construction is progressing according to schedule, with work now shifting to a continuous 24-hour cycle using three rotating shifts. Once completed in 2029, the plant will produce 300 million liters of desalinated water per day, meeting the needs of 3 million people across western Algeria. The project emphasizes local integration, aiming for at least 30% national content, while generating significant job opportunities during both the building and operation phases.
