Get a quoteOman receives a tremendous amount of solar radiation throughout the year, which is among the highest in the world\. There is significant scope for harnessing and developing solar energy resources throughout the Sultanate.
The Manah I and Manah II Solar PV IPPs are also part of this plan, with commercial launch dates set for 2025. By 2029, Oman aims to achieve a solar PV generation capacity of around 3,500 MW. This will be complemented by an estimated 800 MW of wind-based generation from new wind farm projects planned across various governorates.
The Authority for Electricity Regulation Oman (AER) – Oman’s power sector regulator, is taking steps to pave the way for homeowners to install rooftop solar panels. Any surplus electricity generated can be sent back into the national grid.
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.
This will be complemented by an estimated 800 MW of wind-based generation from new wind farm projects planned across various governorates. Nama Power & Water Procurement Company (Nama PWP) of Oman is set to elevate its renewable energy capacity with a massive 1000 MW solar PV-based Independent Power Project (IPP) named 'Solar PV IPPs 2029'.
According to Oman’s National Energy Strategy 2040, a solar energy project in Dakhiliyah Governorate with a plant capacity of 200MW is likely to deploy both concentrated solar power and photovoltaic technologies.
