Total investment in the five wind farm projects, targeting an aggregate generation capacity of over 1 gigawatts (GW), is estimated at around RO 450 million
It was also found that, during recent years, the country has unveiled ambitious renewable production plans leading to an investment in several megawatts (MW) of solar
The electricity generated by the Dhofar II Wind Power Plant will be integrated into Oman''s national grid to be distributed and used across the country. OPWP – Manah Solar
North Solar, a 100 MW solar project, located in Saih Nihaydah in northern Oman; Riyah-1 and Riyah-2, two 100 MW wind projects, located in Amin and West Nimr fields in southern Oman.
By 2026, Oman aims to operationalized three additional solar projects with a total capacity of 1.5GW, plus five wind projects with a combined 1.1GW capacity. This will put Oman back on track to achieve its installed renewable capacity targets.
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.
Solar energy in Oman is expected to become progressively cheaper in the near future and could offer a good return for investments. The success of solar energy in Oman is merely determined by the government’s regulatory policies, fiscal incentives, and public financing.
Around 8.5 GW of new generation capacity – distributed across the renewables and thermal power segments – will be developed across Oman over the next six year.
PWP about to finalise a strategic study which identified the most optimun generation mix for Oman up to 2040. For the next Solar PV IPP PWP exploring the options to include a small scale BESS; co-located with the PV Plant. The main purpose is for frequency control and to inccrease the plant availability during the ramp-up and ramp down moments.
According to Eng Said al Abri, Nama PWP’s Acting Director for Project Development, as many as four new Solar IPPs for envisioned for implementation over the next six years. The biggest by far is dubbed ‘Solar PV IPPs 2030’, representing one or more projects with a combined capacity of a groundbreaking 3 gigawatts (GW).
Estimated to cost in the range of $200 – 250 million, this solar PV scheme is expected to be operational by Q1 2028. Not included in the latest portfolio of new Solar IPPs is the Ibri III Solar PV project, the procurement of which is well underway. The mid-sized scheme, valued at around $380 – 400 million, is anticipated to launch in Q1 2027.
