Construction of Sydney's desalination plant will begin within a fortnight... after the New South Wales government officially signed the contract. Leighton Holdings and its joint venture partner... Veolia Water... have been awarded the 1. 76 billion dollar contract to design... build... operate and maintain the plant at Kurnell for 20 years. The two companies already work together on the Gold Coast desalination project. Water Utilities Minister Nathan Rees says the plant will be 100 per cent powered by renewable energy... probably wind farms.
