Energy Pool, a pioneer in the French flexibility market that manages and optimises the energy consumption of industrial sites, has been signed up by Oman Power and Water Procurement Company (PWP) to conduct an extensive Demand Response (DR) study.

 

This strategic partnership is a key initiative aimed at addressing Oman’s growing electricity demand, facilitating the integration of renewable energy and also supporting the country ambitious goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2050.

 

The scope of this study encompasses an in-depth analysis of the country’s energy landscape to identify opportunities for optimizing grid operations through effective DR programmes. 

 

The key project aligns with the sultanate’s efforts to address growing electricity demand; integrate more renewable energy and also achieve the ambitious goal of net-zero emissions by 2050, said the French group in a statement.

 

By leveraging global best practices and conducting in-depth research, Energy Pool will develop tailored DR mechanisms to reduce peak demand and enhance grid reliability.

 

Through this study, the French group will analyze the country’s energy landscape, identify opportunities to optimise grid operations, and propose tailored DR mechanisms based on global best practices.

 

Energy Pool said it was committed to collaborating with PWP to deliver a comprehensive report, outlining recommendations for the design, implementation, and governance of a DR program. 

 

Through this collaboration, the group aims to contribute significantly to the development of a more sustainable and resilient energy future for Oman, it added.-TradeArabia News Service
