Oman Secures Major Power Off-Take Deal for 2.7GW Wind-Solar-BESS Hybrid Project

Oman Secures

Oman has taken another step toward expanding its renewable energy capacity after O-Green secured a long-term power off-take agreement for a major 2.7-gigawatt hybrid clean energy project combining wind, solar and battery storage systems.

The power purchase agreement (PPA) was signed with Nama Power and Water Procurement Company, the Sultanate’s sole electricity buyer, according to an announcement made on Sunday by Naqaa Sustainable Energy LLC.

The large-scale development, known as the Continuous Renewable Energy Project, will be located in Mahout and Duqm and is expected to provide stable round-the-clock renewable electricity to Oman’s national grid. The project is being developed by O-Green, a renewable energy platform jointly owned by Naqaa Sustainable Energy and OQ Alternative Energy.

The hybrid facility will integrate solar power, wind generation and battery energy storage systems (BESS), reflecting a growing regional focus on combining multiple renewable technologies to ensure continuous electricity supply.

The initiative also aligns with Oman Vision 2040, the country’s long-term economic diversification strategy, which aims to increase the share of renewable energy in the national electricity mix to 30% by 2030.

The agreement comes as Oman accelerates investments in clean energy infrastructure. Recently, Nama PWP revealed plans for another 1-gigawatt hybrid renewable project that will combine solar, wind and battery storage at a single location.

Across the Gulf region, governments are increasingly backing large-scale renewable projects capable of supplying uninterrupted power. In neighboring United Arab Emirates, a major round-the-clock clean energy project is currently under development in Abu Dhabi, featuring a 5.2-gigawatt solar plant integrated with a 19-gigawatt-hour battery storage system.
