20 of October, 2022
Last week the 2022 World Congress of the International Desalination Association (IDA) took place in Sydney, where Gómez-Acebo & Pombo, member of the advisory committee on legal firms, was recognised with the Presidential Award in recognition of the advice provided by the GA_P team to the IDA in the development of the project “Red Paper on fiscal regulation and contractual models for desalination and water reuse facilities”.
The conference included a sustainability awards ceremony recognising innovation and leadership in the desalination, water reuse and advanced treatment sectors in 10 categories, including Most Innovative Company, Most Innovative Utility, Most Progressive and Disruptive Technology in Water Reuse, Best Corporate Social Responsibility Project and Support from IDA Advisory Committees. The policy advice provided to the IDA by GA_P was recognised during this award ceremony. In particular, Eduardo Orteu, Senior Associate, Public & Regulatory and Environment, received the Presidential Award in recognition of his outstanding support to the IDA and the development of the first Red Paper.
The Red Paper assesses the existing regulatory barriers to the development of seawater desalination and water reuse technologies and presents different regulatory proposals to create an enabling environment for the development and deployment of unconventional water resource technologies.
