SolarPower Europe recommends Oman to integrate renewable energy, liberalize its market structure, and optimize grid infrastructure to meet net-zero targets. Oman's current electricity mix is primarily natural gas, and the country aims for an 11% renewables share by 2025 and 30% by 2030. To achieve this, 13 GW of solar is needed. Several solar projects are under development, with tenders expected between 2025 and 2029. Oman should pursue greater renewable energy integration for economic growth and job creation.
- Oman aims for net-zero emissions by 2050; 13 GW of solar needed by 2030
- Multiple solar projects under development, including tenders for 500 MW each in Al Dakhiliya and Mana
- Oman urged to liberalize market structure and optimize grid infrastructure
- Faster spread of renewable energy would ensure economic growth and quality jobs
- Clear roadmap needed to close final 8% emissions reduction by 2050
