Oman seeks consultants for giant solar project

MUSCAT, October 16, 2016

State-owned Oman Power and Water Procurement Company (OPWP) is seeking bids from major consultants to conduct a technical and economic study for setting up the first large-scale solar project in the sultanate, said a report.

The winning consultancy will also help the company in the tendering process for the 200 MW independent power project (IPP) project, reported the Oman Observer.

The tendering process will be overseen by the OPWP in line with its mandate as the procurer of all new power generation and related water desalination capacity, stated the report.

OPWP is now working on the first stages of tendering for consultancy services for the sultanate’s first commercial-scale solar energy-based power plant.

Two locations in Dakhiliyah governorate - Adam and Manah - have been identified as prospective sites for the establishment of a grid-connected large-scale renewable energy scheme, it added.
