However, the public listing allows for secondary market trading, giving investors the option to buy and sell the bond, enhancing liquidity. It also ensures regulatory oversight, boosts market credibility, and sets a pricing benchmark for similar future issuances. Additionally, listing on a major exchange like Nasdaq Dubai could attract more potential investors over time, reinforcing the bond\u2019s role in sustainable finance.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>REMEMBER- This marks the first corporate blue bond issuance in the MENA region, <\/strong>and the wider Central and Eastern Europe, Middle east, and North Africa (CEMEA) region.

The framework \u2014 the Renewable Energy Policy for Self-Generation and Direct Sale \u2014 also aims to attract private investment and increase the grid\u2019s reliability. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>There breakdown: <\/strong>The framework is broken down into three policy streams \u2014 self-generation, direct sale, and electricity transmission. The self-generation policy will regulate licensing for self-generated renewable electricity production, whether by households or businesses, with larger projects required to apply for licensing at the Authority for Public Services Regulation (APSR), while smaller-scale projects will be license-exempt. The policy would also allow APSR to set an annual production quota for self-generation. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>There\u2019s more: <\/strong>The direct sale policy allows producers to sell directly to consumers without going through the state utility while still being subject to APSR regulations, whereas the electricity transmission policy allows licensed transmission and distribution players to monitor the use of the national grid to sell electricity directly. These producers will still have to comply with production limits and consumers will cover transmission costs and tariffs set by APSR. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Oman has big electricity liberalization plans: <\/strong>Oman is rolling out a gradual transition to electricity market liberalization, launching back in 2022 its single-buyer <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/omanpwp.om\/oman-electricty-market\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">Electricity Spot Market<\/a> \u2014 which currently allows Oman\u2019s Nama Power and Water Procurement Company to purchase energy through a daily short-term market from producers with no PPAs or expired ones. Around the same time, the APSR released a <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/2025\/1\/1803.pdf\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">report (pdf)<\/a> on transitioning to self-supply and direct
