During the visit of the Sultan of Oman to France on June 30, 2026, Paris simultaneously finalized three energy cooperation agreements, covering the largest pumped storage, large-scale photovoltaic, and green computing platforms in the Middle East. The simultaneous implementation of three projects marks EDF's comprehensive deepening of the Oman new energy market, the local energy transformation has generated a massive demand for equipment procurement, and domestic hydropower photovoltaic digital equipment enterprises have ushered in considerable overseas supply space.

Opportunities for energy storage projects

The 2000 MW Jabbar Abid pumped storage energy is the core of this cooperation, which aims to achieve the highest scale of similar projects in the Middle East and balance the fluctuations of wind and solar power generation to stabilize the power grid. The domestic pumped storage technology industry is globally leading, and core equipment such as water turbines and pumps have mature supply capabilities. China Power Construction and China Energy Construction have experience in implementing projects in the Middle East, and the project subcontracting and procurement process will provide an entry channel for domestic hydropower equipment.

Continuous expansion of photovoltaics

The 500 MW Al Kamil photovoltaic project covers an area of 4.7 million square meters, with a total investment of 260 million US dollars, and is developed by a multi-party consortium throughout the entire process. This project is EDF's third new energy power station in Oman, which combines existing photovoltaic and wind power projects to form a large-scale layout. Domestic photovoltaic manufacturers such as Jinko Solar are deeply cultivating the Middle East market, and stable project groups will continue to release export orders for module inverters.

Blue Ocean of Digital Infrastructure

The 1000 MW sustainable digital platform relies on green electricity to support computing power and cloud industry, helping Oman build a regional AI hub. Domestic companies such as Huawei have already laid out their data center business in the Middle East, and their projects are driving the demand for energy storage communication equipment. Domestic service providers can follow up on cooperation admission standards to explore long-term cooperation possibilities. Keywords: New energy cooperation, EDF overseas projects

Oman has limited oil reserves and will accelerate its diversified energy transformation based on the 2040 vision, continuously releasing various new energy projects by 2026. EDF's triple signing is a microcosm of local transformation, with multiple tracks of pumped storage photovoltaic digital infrastructure simultaneously opening up export windows. Domestic equipment manufacturers can focus on following up with their supplier access system to seize overseas incremental markets.Editor/Min Jing
