Oman’s power sector is structured around the single buyer model. Oman Power and Water Procurement (OPWP) is the sole purchaser of power and plays a central role in the sector. In 2021 Oman plans to launch an electricity spot market, the first in the GCC. The spot market will allow generators without a PPA to sell electricity to OPWP.
In 2021 Oman plans to launch an electricity spot market, the first in the GCC. The spot market will allow generators without a PPA to sell electricity to OPWP. OPWP will remain the counterparty to all electricity sold in the market. The spot market will commence at a time of considerable uncertainty in Oman’s power sector.
The Ministry of Housing, Electricity & Water (MHEW) is responsible for the planning and management of the electricity sector. The Ministry of Energy and Minerals (MEM - formerly Ministry of Oil and Gas) manages the hydrocarbons sector.
