On March 18, 2025, China Energy Engineering Shanxi Institute Oman Branch successfully won the bid for the EPC project of the 220 kV substation and power external line project in the Suhar Industrial Park of Oman. The project includes the construction of a new 220 kV substation and a 220 kV incoming cable, located in the Suhar Free Trade Zone, which is a key supporting facility for the Oman Solar Industry Park.

This bid is another important project undertaken by Shanxi Institute in Oman, following the successful implementation of the Manah 1 photovoltaic power generation project and the promotion of the 400 kV substation project at the silicon material plant. The Manah II project, constructed by Shanxi Institute, has an installed capacity of 588.2 MW and achieved preliminary commercial operation in December 2024, highlighting its strength in the field of overseas new energy.

The Oman Suhar Free Trade Zone is becoming an important base for Chinese enterprises to layout the photovoltaic industry in the Middle East. On December 20, 2024, JA Solar announced an investment of 3.96 billion yuan to build an annual production of 6GW high-efficiency solar cells and 3GW high-power solar modules project in the area. In addition, Junda Corporation also signed an agreement on October 31, 2024, planning to build a 10GW Topcon photovoltaic cell production base in the Suhar Industrial Zone, with a total investment of approximately 700 million US dollars.

The 220 kV substation project won by Shanxi Institute this time will provide stable power guarantee for the production of photovoltaic modules in Suhar Industrial Park. According to the analysis of the Arab China Industrial Research Institute, the substation is not only the core of the park's energy infrastructure, but also will support the production needs of enterprises such as JA Solar and Junda Corporation, and contribute to Oman's "2040 Vision" green energy goals.

The investment boom of Chinese companies in the photovoltaic industry in Oman reflects their global expansion strategy. The project between JA Solar and Junda Corporation not only enhances Oman's photovoltaic manufacturing capabilities, but also deepens China Arab energy cooperation. Shanxi Institute, relying on its EPC general contracting advantage, has successively undertaken Oman's new energy projects, demonstrating the comprehensive strength of Chinese enterprises in the coordinated development of the entire industry chain.

China Energy Engineering Shanxi Institute won the bid for the Oman 220 kV substation project, which not only consolidates its market position in the local area, but also injects momentum into the production of photovoltaic enterprises such as JA Solar and Junda Corporation. With the continuous deepening of Chinese enterprises in Oman, the prospects of Oman's green energy industry are promising. (This article is from the official website of Jian Dao www.seetao.com.
