Further grid extensions across central and southern Oman are planned through 2029
MUSCAT - Oman Electricity Transmission Company (OETC) has outlined a grid integration schedule covering 17 renewable energy projects with a combined capacity of 7,230 megawatts (MW), alongside seven battery storage sites totaling 1,505 MW, as it expands its transmission network to meet growing electricity demand.
The figures were presented by Ahmed Sulaiyem al Omairi, Senior System Studies Engineer at OETC, during IEEE PowerTalks 2026 in Muscat on Monday. Spanning 2019 to 2029, the renewable schedule reflects a cumulative portfolio of existing facilities and planned connections rather than entirely new capacity.
Earlier entries include the 50 MW Dhofar wind farm, the 560 MW Ibri II solar plant, and the two 500 MW Manah solar plants. Projects scheduled for later years encompass developments across Al Kamil, Harweel, Sadah, Ras Madrakah, Sinaw, Adam, Mahout, Al Duqm, Shaleem, and Al Jazer.
