Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Oman has taken a significant step toward its clean energy ambitions with the advancement of a 2.7-gigawatt (GW) round-the-clock (RTC) renewable energy project, one of the largest hybrid renewable developments planned in the Gulf region.
The project, being developed by Nama Power and Water Procurement (Nama PWP), will integrate solar photovoltaic (PV) generation, wind power, and battery energy storage systems (BESS) to deliver reliable renewable electricity to the national grid on a continuous basis. The facilities are planned for the Duqm and Mahout regions and represent Oman's transition from standalone renewable projects toward dispatchable clean energy capable of providing firm power around the clock.
The initiative forms part of the Sultanate's Vision 2040 strategy, which aims to increase the share of renewable energy in the national generation mix to approximately 30-40% by 2030 and to 60-70% by 2040. The RTC project is expected to strengthen grid stability, reduce dependence on natural gas-fired generation, and support the country's long-term decarbonization objectives.
Looking ahead, Nama PWP's generation expansion plans call for the deployment of around 7 GW of solar capacity, 3 GW of wind power capacity, and approximately 3 GW of energy storage systems by 2030. Several renewable projects are progressing through the development pipeline, including the 300-megawatt (MW) Duqm Wind III project, the 100-MW Al Jazer wind project, and the 100-MW Shaleem wind project.
On the solar front, planned developments include the 500-MW Al Kamil solar power plant and the 300 MW Sinaw solar plant, alongside additional utility-scale solar projects under future procurement programs.
Industry observers note that the large-scale deployment of solar, wind, and energy storage assets will play a crucial role in enhancing energy security, improving grid reliability, and accelerating Oman's transition toward a more sustainable and diversified power sector.
