Nama PWP Launches RO 400 Million RFQ for Solar IPPs: What This Means for Investors and Entrepreneurs in Oman
Muscat, June 23 – Nama Power and Water Procurement (PWP), the exclusive purchaser of power and water capacity in Oman, has officially launched the Request for Qualification (RFQ) process for two significant utility-scale solar photovoltaic projects: the Adam Solar Independent Power Project (IPP) and the Sinaw Solar Independent Power Project (IPP). The combined investment for these projects is estimated at RO 400 million.
These initiatives align with PWP’s commitment to securing a reliable, sustainable, and diversified energy future for Oman, in support of Oman Vision 2040 and the national energy transition strategy. Designated as Projects 11 and 12 in PWP’s renewable energy roadmap, they hold strategic importance within the country’s energy transition efforts.
The Adam Solar IPP will feature a 1,000 MW solar PV plant integrated with a Battery Energy Storage System (BESS), situated in the Wilayat of Adam, with an estimated cost of RO 287 million ($746 million). The Sinaw Solar IPP involves a 500 MW solar PV plant located in the Wilayat of Sinaw, costing approximately RO 111 million ($288 million). Together, these projects will add 1,500 MW of renewable capacity to Oman’s national grid, marking a major milestone in the nation’s energy transition.
Notably, the Adam Solar IPP will be among the first large-scale solar projects in Oman to include battery storage, enhancing grid flexibility, system stability, and the integration of renewable energy. This addition aims to bolster energy security and ensure dependable electricity during peak demand times. Meanwhile, the Sinaw Solar IPP will also contribute significantly to increasing renewable energy’s share in Oman’s power mix and advancing the country’s carbon reduction goals.
Ahmed bin Salim Al Abri, CEO of Nama Power and Water Procurement, stated, “These projects embody our commitment to providing cost-effective, sustainable, and reliable electricity solutions while fostering private sector involvement and attracting foreign investment in Oman’s expanding clean energy sector.”
The RFQ represents the initial phase of a competitive procurement process that will shortlist qualified developers for the forthcoming Request for Proposal (RFP) stage. This development further positions Oman as a leading renewable energy investment hub in the region, reflecting its steady progress towards long-term sustainability and net-zero targets.
Interested developers and consortiums are encouraged to submit their qualification applications as per the requirements and deadlines outlined in the RFQ documentation issued by Nama Power and Water Procurement.
