The Sydney Desalination Plant is a drinking water supply project being undertaken by Sydney Water, Sydney's State-owned water supply corporation. It is currently being built in the Kurnell industrial estate area, in Sydney's southern suburbs. The desalination plant itself is being built by the Blue Water Joint Venture, under contract to Sydney Water. The Blue Water Joint Venture comprises the plant constructor, John Holland Pty Ltd, and the operator, Veolia Water Australia.
The plant will use reverse osmosis filtration membranes to remove salt from seawater and will be powered using 100 percent renewable energy. The renewable energy will be supplied to the national power grid from the Capitol Wind Farm at Bungendore, NSW. The Sydney desalination plant is the second being built in Australia, after the Kwinana Desalination Plant, in Perth, Western Australia. Perth is now building a second plant. Other plants are being built or are out to tender, to supply water to the Gold Coast in Queensland, Melbourne in Victoria, and Adelaide in South Australia, as well as a second desalination plant for Perth. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurnell_Desalination_Plant
