2008 - 2009 - Pinsent Masons Water Yearbook 2012 - 2013

PART 1: THE WORLD OF WATER 2008-2009
In previous editions, we have noted some smaller, local players. This is an attempt to list local
companies which have gained formal PPP contracts. The initial survey identified 97 companies
in 17 countries. This excludes companies with joint ventures with the major international
companies (e.g. the Eurasian Water Partnership in the Russian Federation, which is a Veolia
joint venture). In this edition, 104 companies have been identified (some of those initially
identified have been taken over or have left the sector). Further details about companies
(population served and so on) will be included in the country entries.
The number of companies here operating internationally is small. One was identified operating
in China (North American Envirotech), Vitens (the Netherlands) in Ghana, Aguas de Portugal
(Portugal) in Brazil and Mozambique and NTR (Denmark) in the Maldives. Vitens and Aguas de
Portugal are public companies, but these activities were gained as PPP projects on competitive
tenders.
The impact of these companies ought to be put into their global context. The 778 contracts
covered in the Envisager database that relate to companies with full entries in the Yearbook
cover 603.2million people with an average of 775,000 people per contract, compared with
32.0million people covered by the 156 contracts held by these companies, with an average of
212,000 people per contract. 95% of people served by PSP contract awards identified here
have been by the 150 companies with entries in the Yearbook, with 5% served by the other 104
companies listed below.
