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.
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).
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.
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.
