Abu Dhabi Sewerage Services Company (ADSSC), a leading provider of sustainable water solutions, has signed an exclusive Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) with Uzsuvtaminot, a key player in improving the management of water resources in the Republic of Uzbekistan, to develop a wastewater treatment plant in the country’s capital, Tashkent.
Upon completion, with an estimated capacity of 1.5 million cubic meters a day, enough to serve over 2.3 million people, the facility will be the largest wastewater treatment plant in the country.
Eng. Ahmed Al Shamsi, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of ADSSC, and Mr. Sakhib Saifnazarov, Chairman of Uzsuvtaminot, signed the MoA in Tashkent, Uzbekistan.

“The signing of this landmark MoA demonstrates the common goals of the UAE and Uzbekistan to enhance bilateral cooperation in diverse fields. The project aligns with Uzsuvtaminot’s efforts to facilitate the exchange of knowledge and expertise between the UAE national entities and their international counterparts to support the global transition to a greener and more sustainable development model.”
The agreement aims to develop a centralized wastewater treatment plant that promotes health and well-being, improves the quality of life and keeps pace with population growth within an economically reformed Tashkent. Under its provisions, ADSSC and its partners will undertake the financing, construction, and operation of the plant, whereas Uzsuvtaminot will be responsible for providing the land, effluent, and electricity facilities.
The new treatment plant is set to replace the three existing wastewater treatment plants located in Boszu, Salar, and Bektimir, which have a total capacity of 1.5 million cubic meters a day. When it is completed, the plant will serve an estimated 2.3 million people living in an area covering 435 sq km in Tashkent and its surrounding regions and will help create numerous job opportunities for the local community.
The signing of this MoA marks a key milestone for ADSSC, which continually seeks to become an Abu Dhabi-based global key player in providing integrated wastewater management whose commitment lies in supporting global, regional, and local sustainable development visions.
