Oman''s Petroleum Development Oman (PDO) has plans to set up a 100 MW solar plant with an energy storage facility in the north of the sultanate and also has plans to build its first wind farm.
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)
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.
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.
Moreover, the Riyah-1 and Riyah-2 wind farms, located in Amin and Nimr West, will collectively produce 200 MW of clean energy, revolutionising Oman’s energy landscape. These projects will be commercially operational by Q4 2026.
Taken together with parallel plans for the implementation of a raft of Wind IPPs and combined cycle gas turbine (CCGT) power projects, total investment in Oman’s power sector is set to balloon to well over $5 billion over the next six years through to 2030.
Through utilising advanced renewable technology, North Solar IPP will Maximise energy diversification, ensuring a sustainable supply for future generations. Moreover, the Riyah-1 and Riyah-2 wind farms, located in Amin and Nimr West, will collectively produce 200 MW of clean energy, revolutionising Oman’s energy landscape.
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.
