Aqualia will develop four PERTE water projects in the Canary Islands, Cantabria, Ciudad Real and Asturias

The provisional resolution of the second call for the Strategic Projects for Economic Recovery and Transformation (PERTE) for the digitalisation of the water cycle contemplates funds for four projects participated by Aqualia in different Spanish municipalities. The Spanish Ministry for the Ecological Transition and the Demographic Challenge (MITECO) has just published the list of the selected projects, which are focused on sustainability and innovation in the water sector and include initiatives such as improving efficiency in use of water resources, reducing the carbon footprint in water treatment processes or digitalising infrastructure to optimise management in real time.

Public-private collaboration has been key to this success, allowing Aqualia to form strategic alliances with different local and regional administrations, as well as with technology companies and research institutions. This synergy has enabled the development of innovative proposals that have been recognised in this second PERTE call. The four projects presented by Aqualia represent a joint investment of more than 35.2 million euros (11.7% of the total budget provided by the Ministry in this second call), which will result in the development and implementation of new technologies for the sustainable water management.

In the Canary Islands, the Digital Island, hydraulic balances, optimisation of resources and reserves of the Canary Islands project has been selected, presented by Aqualia in a group with the Island Council of Tenerife, Entemanser and the UTE Entemanser - Britos y Gutiérrez. The amount received from PERTE will be 8.4 million euros. The actions will be concentrated in 9 Canarian municipalities and will benefit a total of 240,973 inhabitants.

Another of the selected projects is located in the inland peninsula: REALWATER. Digitising water: connecting the future of Ciudad Real, developed in the province of the same name. Aqualia has presented, in collaboration with the Provincial Council of Ciudad Real and the Joint Water and Services Company, a project that covers the whole 102 municipalities of the province. The development of actions, from which 658,033 inhabitants will benefit, will receive an amount of 7.4 million euros.

Aqualia will develop another of the projects in Cantabria, under the name CantabriControl: Flow control and optimisation of resources in the Cantabrian basin. Presented in conjunction with the Government of Cantabria, it will cover 47 municipalities in the province, impacting 493,892 inhabitants. It will receive a total of 9.8 million euros from PERTE.

Aqualia is also part of the group awarded a project in Asturias, under the name ANDA, Nora agglomeration – Digitalisation of water, which has the participation of the Principality of Asturias, Cadasa, and the councils of Oviedo, Siero, Llanera, Nava and Sariego. The initiative, which will benefit 294,624 people in 34 towns, will receive an amount of 9.4 million euros.

Commitment to the digital transformation of water

The first PERTE call for Digitalisation of the Urban Water Cycle, which was resolved in November 2023, has already awarded funds to 30 projects to improve the urban water cycle. Among them was the proposal presented in the province of Cádiz by Aqualia and Arcgisa (Agua y Residuos del Campo de Gibraltar, S.A.), which will receive 7.7 million from PERTE and from which eight municipalities in Campo de Gibraltar (Algeciras) will benefit (La Línea de la Concepción, Tarifa, Castellar de la Frontera, Jimena de la Frontera, Los Barrios, San Martín del Tesorillo and San Roque).

The award of these PERTE projects, focused on sustainability and innovation in the water sector, consolidate Aqualia's commitment to digital transformation in line with the objectives of the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan of the Government of Spain. The company reinforces its fundamental role in the development of critical infrastructures for society and the environment.

In this second call, funds have been awarded for a total of 300 million euros, as part of the Recovery, Transformation and Resilience Plan financed by the European Union through the NextGenerationEU funds. These grants, awarded to a group of 50 projects, will benefit a total of 1,155 municipalities, improving water management for a population of more than 13 million inhabitants.
