Oman Power and Water Procurement (OPWP) has announced it has plans to launch a tender process to develop solar projects in the country.
It is expected that the OPWP issues a Request for Proposals (RfP) in the fourth quarter of this year for the implementation of Oman’s first large-scale solar Independent Power Project.
The projects with a total capacity of 200 MW are planned to be operational by 2020.
OPWP has already appointed technical advisors to prepare tender documents and an appropriate evaluation methodology
Recently the utility released a 7-Year Outlook Statement for the 2017-2023 timeframe also sets out a strategy for the implementation of a number of gas-based electricity and water desalination schemes over this period.
The document includes plans for the procurement of several of Independent Power Projects (IPPs) providing around 2,400 MW of new gas-based capacity and new Independent Water Projects offering a total of over 800,000 cubic metres/day of new desalination capacity.
