Under the scorching sun in the interior of Oman, a large dark blue photovoltaic matrix is about to be erected on the plateau covered in yellow sand. On June 23, 2026, Muscat time, Nama Electricity and Water Procurement Company in Oman - the country's only buyer of electricity and water capacity - officially issued a request letter to solicit development partners for two large photovoltaic independent power stations, Adam and Sinaf, from around the world. For international power giants targeting the Middle East new energy market, this is not only the most anticipated order of the year, but also an important outcome in Oman's "2040 Vision" energy transformation game.

Details of two major photovoltaic projects

This bidding includes two independent power generation projects. Adam Photovoltaic is located in the Adam region, with a planned installed capacity of 1000MW and will be equipped with a battery energy storage system. It is one of the first solar power plants in Oman to introduce large-scale energy storage, with an estimated annual carbon reduction of over 1.03 million tons. Xinav Photovoltaic is located in the Xinav region, with a planned installed capacity of 500MW, also operating in an independent power station mode. Enterprises interested in participating must submit pre qualification documents before July 27, 2026, and only those who pass the screening can enter the subsequent quotation stage.

2.5GW photovoltaic cluster and 1GW all-weather plan

Adam and Sinav are just the first batch of Nama PWP's photovoltaic big orders this year. The Camille Phase II Photovoltaic Independent Power Station and the Zofar Photovoltaic Independent Power Station are also waiting to be promoted in the same batch. After all four projects are completed, the total installed capacity will reach 2.5GW, forming the largest photovoltaic development cluster in Oman so far. In addition, the organization announced a large-scale all-weather comprehensive new energy project plan earlier this year, integrating photovoltaic power generation, wind power generation, and battery energy storage, which can produce clean electricity with dispatch capabilities. The planned installed capacity is about 1GW, and the goal is to complete the award within the year, making Oman one of the first countries in the world to promote the integration of gigawatt level wind solar energy storage and dispatch.

Dedicated photovoltaics for LNG plant area and overall transformation goals

In addition to the above-mentioned public power stations, Oman is currently recruiting consulting firms to serve a photovoltaic independent power station of approximately 280MW. After completion, the power station will be dedicated to supplying power to the northern Marsa liquefied natural gas plant area, supporting the industrial decarbonization strategy. According to the plan, Oman aims to increase the proportion of renewable energy in its power generation to 30% by 2030, and continuously release photovoltaic, wind power, and supporting energy storage projects through Nama PWP's seven-year plan, gradually reducing its dependence on gas-fired power generation.keywords:Domestic new energy latest news

With the opening of the pre qualification process, Oman is sending a signal to accelerate the reshaping of its energy structure with a total reserve of over 3.5GW of new energy projects, including 2.5GW photovoltaic clusters, 1GW all-weather integrated projects, and 280MW industrial dedicated photovoltaics. For Chinese and international new energy enterprises, the deadline of July 27th will be the latest window to tap into this market.Editor/Yang Meiling
