On the vast desert edge of Oman, a green energy revolution is quietly unfolding. On November 25, 2025, a joint venture consisting of China Energy Engineering Corporation International, East China Institute, and Hunan Thermal Power, in collaboration with Masdar OQ、 International energy companies such as Central Korea Power Generation have jointly signed the EPC contract for the Oman Iburi Phase III 700MW photovoltaic+150MWh energy storage power station project. This giant power station located in Ibri city is not only a strategic project for Oman to achieve energy diversification and promote the "2040 Vision", but also another milestone for Chinese companies to demonstrate their technological strength and collaborative advantages in the international new energy field.

Photovoltaic+energy storage mode solves the stability problem of clean energy

The project innovatively adopts a "photovoltaic+energy storage" system solution, effectively smoothing the volatility of photovoltaic power generation through the coordinated operation of ground tracking photovoltaic technology and large-scale energy storage systems. This system can store electrical energy when there is sufficient sunlight and provide continuous power supply during nighttime or cloudy periods, significantly improving the grid's ability to absorb clean energy. After completion, the project will generate approximately 1.6 billion kilowatt hours of stable clean electricity annually, which is sufficient to meet the electricity needs of hundreds of thousands of households in the area and become an important support for Oman's energy structure transformation.

By the end of 2026, establish a green development schedule for commercial operation goals

According to the plan, the project will achieve commercial operation on November 4, 2026, which reflects the firm commitment of all parties to the efficient execution of the project. As an important component of Oman's energy infrastructure construction, this project will not only significantly increase the proportion of clean energy in the local area, but also introduce advanced project management methods and engineering construction standards through the international project implementation experience of Chinese enterprises, setting a new benchmark for the development of renewable energy in the Middle East region.

Multi party collaboration to draw a new blueprint for energy transformation in the Middle East

The signing parties of this project include well-known energy companies from China, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, South Korea and other countries, demonstrating the trend of cross-border cooperation in the global energy field. With its rich experience and full industry chain advantages in the field of power construction, China Energy Alliance has successfully won the EPC contract for this major project, marking that Chinese enterprises have gained wider recognition in the international high-end new energy market. This cooperation model of strong power alliance will provide a model for the energy cooperation of countries along the "the Belt and Road". Editor/Yang Beihua
