Abu Dhabi-based renewable energy major Masdar has completed the first power of the 50 MW Dhofar wind project located in Dhofar Governorate in Oman. 

The facility consists of 13 units of GE 3.8 MW - 130 wind turbine. The remaining 12 units will be commissioned before the end of 2019.

Rural Areas Electricity Company (Tanweer) will be responsible for the operation of the plant while TSK will be in charge of the infrastructure linking the plant to the power grid. Abu Dhabi Fund for Development (ADFD) financed the project.
