Monsson finishes desalination plant in Qatar; Group is key investor in Romania renewable sector

Renewable developer Monsson, which has sold several wind projects in Romania, has finished works on a special desalination plant, which is powered by solar energy, in Qatar.

Ali Hussain Al-Sada, the beneficiary of the installation, said this was a revolutionary project for Qatar, which can offers fresh water at lower prices and with a more efficient power consumption.

Monsson has opened its office in Qatar earlier this month.

Sebastian Enache, the development director of Monsson, said the company is looking to develop technical solutions in countries that want to produce drinkable water without relying on fossil fuels.

“We are hoping to expand this technology in the whole region and in other countries where drinkable water is a real problem,” said Enache.
