Eco World to study desalination plant with Negeri Sembilan agency
The proposed collaboration would assess an alternative industrial water source for the developer’s parks under a renewable one-year agreement.
Eco World Development Group Bhd said on Nov 12 that it had signed a memorandum of understanding with NS Corporation to assess whether a desalination plant could supply water to its industrial parks in Negeri Sembilan.
The developer said the joint feasibility study would examine desalination as an additional, alternative source of water for industrial use. The potential partnership extends to Eco World-branded industrial parks and any further industrial parks the company may develop in the state.
The agreement runs for one year, with renewal subject to both parties’ consent. Eco World described the initiative as an opportunity for the public and private sectors to work together on speeding up industrial water infrastructure development in Negeri Sembilan.
NS Corporation is a statutory body responsible for promoting and managing investment in the state. Its remit includes developing Malaysia Vision Valley 2.0, a 379,000-acre megaproject spanning Seremban, Nilai and Port Dickson, envisioned as an extension of Kuala Lumpur to the south.
