Oman Launches Qualification Phase for First Waste-to-Energy Project in Barka

Nama Power and Water Procurement Company (PWP), Oman, announces the commencement of the Request for Qualification (RFQ) process for the country’s first utility-scale Waste-to-Energy Project (WTE Project), located in Barka.

With a projected capacity of 95–100 MW and an expected Scheduled Commercial Operation Date (SCOD) in Q2 of 2031, the WTE Project represents a major milestone in fuel diversification for the electricity sector. The project is being developed under the leadership of PWP, as nominated by the Authority for Public Services Regulation, in close collaboration with Oman Environmental Services Holding Company (be’ah). This landmark project supports Oman’s national objectives to reduce, treat, and manage waste volumes effectively while transitioning toward a low-carbon economy. The WTE Project is expected to contribute approximately 760 GWh of renewable energy annually, starting in 2031, further strengthening the country’s commitment to its Net Zero targets.

PWP, the exclusive procurer of power in the Sultanate, invites qualified and experienced entities to submit their statements of qualification for participation in this transformative project. The launch of the RFQ phase signals a crucial step in delivering innovative, clean, and efficient power solutions that contribute to a greener and more resilient energy future for the communities across Oman. The Project is a part of the Sultanate of Oman’s strategic direction toward sustainable waste management and the adoption of cleaner energy solutions.
