The 105 MW North Oman Solar PV project has successfully completed grid energisation, marking a major milestone towards commercial operations. The project forms part of a broader 330 MW renewable energy programme supporting Oman's clean energy transition.
The 105 MW North Oman Solar PV project has moved a step closer to full commercial operations following the successful back-energisation of the facility earlier this month.
Developed by a joint venture between TotalEnergies Renewables Development Middle East and OQ Alternative Energy, the project is located in Qarn Al Alam in the Wilayat of Adam, Al Dakhiliyah Governorate. The facility comprises 218,805 photovoltaic (PV) modules, an underground cabling network, a step-up substation, an internal road network and meteorological stations.
Once fully operational, electricity generated by the solar plant will be supplied to the grid of Petroleum Development Oman LLC, supporting the country’s transition towards cleaner energy sources.
Beyond the North Oman Solar PV project, the joint venture is also developing the Ryiah 1 and Ryiah 2 wind farms in southern Oman. Construction of both projects is progressing as planned, with commercial operations expected by the end of 2026.
Together, the three renewable energy projects represent a combined installed capacity of 330 MW and involve investments exceeding USD 230 million (approximately EUR 201 million), reinforcing Oman’s efforts to diversify its energy mix and expand renewable power generation.
