Oman strengthens its electricity grid
The Sultanate of Oman is working to improve the electricity sector by restructuring its infrastructure to address the risks of technical and natural outages and to enhance the sustainability of the electrical grid. This includes integrating grid outages into the national risk register, implementing preparedness procedures, developing resilient networks, and launching initiatives to compensate consumers and improve service quality. These efforts also involve establishing wind power plants with the goal of reaching 30% renewable energy by 2030 and achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. Additionally, Oman has launched regional interconnection projects, such as the link with the Gulf through two lines spanning 530 kilometers with a transmission capacity of up to 1700 MW, which is expected to come into service in 2027. The country is also working on connecting the Muscat Island to the transmission network to reduce dependence on diesel and lower emissions, thereby strengthening energy security and sustainability in the nation.
