DESCRIPTION The Ibri II Solar PV Independent Power Plant Project (the Project) is a 500 mega-watt greenfield solar photovoltaics power plant in Ibri, Oman which is being developed by Shams Ad-Dhahira Generating Company SAOC (the
To achieve this, the country has lined up several large-scale solar and wind projects, including 1.5 GW in various stages of development. Additionally, Oman has announced further plans for 2.1 GW of solar photovoltaic (PV) capacity, 400 MW of wind power, and 600 MW from concentrated solar power (CSP).
SolarPower Europe said the country will need to install a minimum of 13 GW of solar in total by 2030 to meet its target. It noted that Oman’s utility-scale PV capacity stood at 0.5 GW in 2022, thanks to the 500 MW Ibri II solar plant, developed by ACWA Power. The project started commercial operations in August 2021.
Oman has announced further plans for 2.1 GW of solar photovoltaic (PV) capacity, 400 MW of wind power, and 600 MW from concentrated solar power (CSP). MUSCAT: Oman is making significant strides in its renewable energy and green hydrogen sectors, with a wave of projects pushing the country closer to its ambitious 2030 targets.
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. Public tenders are expected for three new solar projects and five wind projects between 2025 and 2029.
The recommendations form part of the “ Oman Solar investment opportunities ” report, the latest work from SolarPower Europe’s Global Markets unit. The report said that Oman’s current electricity mix is primarily based on natural gas, accounting for 96% (38 TWh) of power generation in 2022, compared to solar at 3.8% (1.5 TWh).
As the global energy landscape shifts, Oman’s aggressive push into renewables and hydrogen signals its commitment to reducing reliance on fossil fuels while capitalising on the economic potential of clean energy exports.
