PARIS (dpa-AFX) - TotalEnergies (TTE, TTE.L) said that it has signed an agreement with Veolia to start the construction of Solar photovoltaic (PV) systems providing power for a desalination plant in Oman, in the city of Sur.
TotalEnergies stated that the power plant will be located on the site of the Sharqiyah Desalination plant, which is a reference in Oman and in the gulf region, supplying drinking water to more than 600,000 inhabitants of the Sharqiyah region.
