Oman - The first Final Investment Decision (FID) is anticipated during the 2026-27 timeframe by one of the consortiums awarded mandates to develop green hydrogen (GH2) projects in the Sultanate of Oman.
In January 2024, Oman launched a public tender for another 500 MW solar project, Ibri Solar III, with commercial operations due to begin in the fourth quarter of 2026.
In collaboration with: The Middle East and North Africa saw 2019 again confirm the growth and importance of commissioning large projects and launching additional phases of their renewable
Additionally, PDO is finalizing plans for a 100 MW solar PV-based IPP, named the ‘North Solar Storage IPP,’ set to include Oman’s first battery energy storage system (BESS). This BESS, using lithium-ion battery technology, will store electrical energy and supply a maximum of 100 MW peak power to PDO’s grid during daylight hours.
These projects aim to produce at least 1 million tonnes of green hydrogen by 2030. Speaking at the ‘Together We Progress’ forum, Oman’s Minister of Energy and Minerals, Eng Salim bin Nasser al Aufi, confirmed that the FID would mark the shift from planning to execution.
Oman has embarked on several other projects in line with targets for 2030, including a wind farm in Dhofar, a solar IPP in Manah, 11 solar-diesel hybrid facilities, and the Sahim (Contribute) initiative to install small-scale solar panels on residential and commercial buildings.
The Ras Madrakah Solar Plant, with a 6 MW capacity, supports local industries in the Al Wusta region. The Dhofar Agricultural Solar Project provides solar-powered irrigation for farms in southern Oman. In Al Batinah, a small 2.5 MW solar installation supplies power to remote villages.
In October 2022, MEM unveiled a Green Hydrogen Strategy and announced the formation of Hydrogen Oman (Hydrom), a subsidiary of state-owned Energy Development Oman, to oversee development in the sector. Oman is targeting $140 billion of investment in the green hydrogen industry and hopes to achieve production of 1 million tons per year by 2030.
Oman has committed to net zero emissions by 2050. The government is looking to expand its electricity-generation capacities through renewable independent power projects (IPP), with plans to derive at least 30 percent of electricity from renewables by 2030, mainly through onshore wind and solar projects.
