MADRID, Feb 22 (Reuters) - Spanish construction company Acciona (ANA.MC: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) said on Friday its Australian unit and its partner United Utilities Australia have qualified as joint bidders to build and run a desalination plant in Perth.

The 300 to 400 million euro ($590 million) project includes designing and operating the plant, aimed to provide water to as many as 400,000 people for 25 years, Acciona said.

Acciona and Britain's United Utilities (UU.L: Quote, Profile, Research, Stock Buzz) agreed in July to develop projects in Australia. (Reporting by Carlos Ruano; Translating by Elena Moya; Editing by Quentin Bryar)
