- Oman has announced plans to acquire five wind power plants with a combined capacity of 1,171 MW.
- The latest announcement overturns an earlier plan for Oman to acquire three independent wind energy projects.
Oman’s Nama Power & Water Procurement Company (PWP) has announced plans to acquire five wind power plants with a combined capacity of 1,171 MW.
The planned schemes and capacities include Dhofar 2: 132 MW, Sada: 99 MW, Duqm: 270 MW, Power: 400 MW and Jalan Bani Bu Ali: 270 MW. The new projects significantly increase the current portfolio of wind projects in the Sultanate.
The latest announcement overturns an earlier plan for Oman to acquire three independent wind energy projects. Renewable energy, derived mainly from solar photovoltaic power plants, accounted for approximately 6% of Oman’s electricity production capacity in 2023.
Also, Nama PWP, formerly known as Oman Power & Water Procurement Company (OPWP), recently appointed a team of consultants for its planned independent wind power producer (IPP) projects.
