Oman-based MEG Invests $500M in Digital Energy Infrastructure: What This Means for the Future of Business in Oman
MUSCAT: Masirah Energy Gateway (MEG), an Oman-based energy infrastructure firm, has partnered with Dubai-headquartered Ento Capital to advance a $500 million digital energy infrastructure platform. This collaboration highlights Oman’s expanding role in merging energy solutions with next-generation digital assets.
The platform, developed through Ento Capital’s Entocore Infrastructure Fund, is designed to scale investments in energy-backed digital infrastructure across various markets. This comes as rising global demand for artificial intelligence (AI) and data services places unprecedented strain on power systems and computing capacity.
Supported by a project pipeline exceeding $2.5 billion and anchored by approximately one gigawatt of renewable energy capacity, the initiative aims to address the growing disparity between energy supply and digital infrastructure demand. With global data centre investments expected to reach around $1.1 trillion by 2029, the platform emphasizes the significant opportunity in integrating energy production with rapidly expanding digital assets.
MEG, specializing in large-scale project development, is joining as a strategic investor by contributing infrastructure assets to the fund. The company is also progressing memoranda of understanding with relevant authorities to promote the development of large-scale renewable energy and infrastructure projects, aligning its portfolio with the platform’s long-term vision.
“Our involvement demonstrates our commitment to linking strategic infrastructure assets with scalable investment platforms,” said Yvo de Zwart, CEO of Masirah Energy Gateway. “This positions us to support the integration of energy capacity into broader energy and digital infrastructure ecosystems across the region.”
Ento Capital stated the platform is structured to provide attractive risk-adjusted returns by combining stable infrastructure yields with long-term growth potential. Operating under a Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC)-based Qualified Investor Fund and regulated by the Dubai Financial Services Authority, the platform targets institutional investors seeking exposure to large-scale infrastructure opportunities.
This initiative emerges amid a global shift in energy systems, where a substantial portion of produced energy remains underutilized even as demand surges in emerging markets. Furthermore, data centres—currently responsible for about 4% of global electricity consumption—are projected to consume an even larger share in the future, underscoring the urgent need for integrated energy and digital infrastructure solutions.
For Oman, MEG’s participation aligns with national efforts to establish the Sultanate as a hub for energy-backed digital infrastructure. Recent developments have increasingly linked renewable energy expansion with digital economy growth, including the integration of power generation with data centres, cloud platforms, and advanced connectivity networks.
This strategy resonates strongly with Oman Vision 2040, which emphasizes economic diversification, digital transformation, and sustainability. The ongoing 2026–2030 Five-Year Development Plan highlights the digital economy, renewable energy, and advanced infrastructure as key growth drivers, supported by focused investments in logistics, manufacturing, and technology sectors.
