The company is seeking project management and supervisory consultancy services during the construction, commissioning and testing phases of the project.
According to Nama PWP’s latest seven-year statement, the Marsa solar IPP is scheduled to enter commercial operation in the first quarter of 2028.
Recent solar IPP projects in Oman have taken between two and three years to complete from the launch of the main contract tender. It is unclear when this will be released.
The scheme is part of Oman’s renewable energy development programme, which aims to increase the share of renewables in the country’s electricity mix to about 30% by 2030.
The project sits alongside several other renewable schemes in Nama PWP’s development pipeline, including:
- 400MW Al-Kamil solar IPP
- 400MW Sinaw solar IPP
- 800MW Mahout wind IPP
- 300MW Duqm 2 wind IPP
According to Nama PWP’s plan, all of these are targeted for commissioning between 2027 and 2029.
Nama PWP recently signed a power-purchase agreement with local firm O-Green for the development of the sultanate’s first utility-scale round-the-clock renewable energy project.
Earlier, in May, MEED exclusively reported that the state offtaker had resumed plans to tender a 500MW solar photovoltaic IPPin Adam in Dakhiliyah governorate.
While plans are in place to release the tender by the end of 2026, delays to the approval process due to the recent regional uncertainty could push the tender into next year, a source said.
