Oman is planning its first large-scale 24/7 renewable energy project combining solar, wind, and battery storage technologies
The integrated project is expected to provide about 1 GW with a capacity factor above 70%
Nama PWP is also preparing multiple new solar and wind projects as part of a wider renewable energy expansion program
State-owned Nama Power and Water Procurement Company (Nama PWP) is preparing to launch procurement for Oman’s first utility-scale round-the-clock (RTC) renewable energy project. It will provide around 1 GW capacity with an annual capacity factor exceeding 70%.
The proposed project will be tendered and awarded in 2026, according to the company’s 2025 Annual Report.
The new RTC project will combine solar, wind, and battery storage technologies, which should be able to deliver stable, baseload-style clean electricity.
In January 2026, a Masdar-led consortium secured financing for Oman’s first utility-scale solar and storage project with 500 MW and 100 MWh capacity, respectively (see Financial Close For Oman’s 1st Utility-Scale Solar & Storage Project).
Among its other plans, Nama PWP has a broader renewable energy pipeline planned for 2026. This includes requests for proposals (RFPs) for nearly 280 MW solar PV capacity to support the decarbonization of the Marsa LNG project.
In addition, the company expects to award several renewable energy projects in 2026, including the Al Kamil I Solar IPP and wind projects at Al Duqm (Ras Madrakah), Mahout, and Sadah.
Further solar developments planned for tendering include the Al Kamil II, Dhofar, Sinaw, and Adam Solar IPPs. Together, these projects form part of a larger solar program with an estimated combined capacity of around 2.5 GW. Some of the upcoming projects are expected to include battery energy storage systems (BESS) to improve grid flexibility, reliability, and renewable energy integration.
Nama PWP will also advance pre-development work for future solar projects under its Solar 2030 program, including site studies, resource assessments, and grid integration planning.
The company also intends to begin implementation activities related to its ongoing study on the optimum energy mix and storage options, which is expected to guide long-term planning for Oman’s future electricity system.
As of 2025, Oman’s total operational solar PV capacity was 1.672 GW, which improved with the addition of 1 GW during the last year, according to the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA).
