Oman launches 500MW large-scale tender
The region has enjoyed recent successes with the IPP model for solar deployment.
Oman has confirmed a competitive tender for a 500MW PV project.
The development will be run on a build, own, operate basis following the independent power producer (IPP) model that has been successful in other regional markets. Private investment of around US$500 million is being sought.
The site is in Ibri, 300km west of the capital Muscat.
The Oman Power and Water Procurement Company (OPWP) is aiming to award the contract in Q4 2018 with completion targeted for 2021.
“The project will be the first in the chain of renewables projects that the company is planning to develop in the coming few years to support the sustainability approach of the country,” said Hamdan Ali Al Hinai, chairman, OPWP.
The IPP model has driven extremely low contracted power prices in Saudi Arabia and the UAE.
Oman is also assessing its potential for wind power with the development of a wind atlas and has also begun initial investigations into waste to energy projects.
WEBINAR: Levelized Cost of Electricity of PV- Large Scale Plants with JinkoModules Technologies
The present study analyses the levelized cost of electricity (LCOE) of PV utility-scale power plants in the first quarter of 2018. It compares different Jinko modules technologies and shows their future developments till 2020 based on technology and market scenarios. Speaker information: Roberto Murgioni holds a BSc in Electrical Engineering and a Masters of Renewable Energies Engineering. Roberto is responsible for the pre-sales and after-sales activities around Europe. Before Joining Jinko he held a variety of similar positions with Trina and ET solar. Prior to that he covered several roles in the engineering dept. starting in Milan and then Munich as a Project Electrical Engineer for various EPC companies, managing large PV power plant projects in EU and LATAM. If you have any questions you would like to direct to Jinko prior to the webinar, please send them through to Oliver Amos at Solar Media: oamos@solarmedia.co.uk
