SUEZ and SEEG sign €200 million agreement to improve drinking water services in Gabon
SUEZ has entered into a five-year, €200 million contract with the Gabonese Energy and Water Company (SEEG) to enhance the production and distribution of drinking water in Libreville and other major cities across Gabon. Backed by the French government, this partnership aims to improve water service quality and restore SEEG’s financial stability, with financing support in the form of a competitively rated loan.
The agreement focuses on long-term improvements to Gabon’s water infrastructure, including the transfer of technical expertise to SEEG teams and comprehensive support across all stages of water service delivery—from production and transport to distribution and customer management.
Pierre Pauliac, Group Deputy CEO & Chief Operating Officer Water at SUEZ, said: “Providing essential services to people is at the heart of SUEZ’s mission as a major player in environmental services. This contract with SEEG, which will guarantee Gabonese people continuous access to high-quality drinking water, is fully in line with our mission. We are proud to support SEEG in this project, which will have a major impact on the Gabonese population, while helping to strengthen the skills of the teams and boost the local economy. We would like to warmly thank the Gabonese authorities for their trust.”
