Nama PWP will also build a potable water reservoir as part of the project. The goal is to ensure water security in Muscat and the surrounding provinces. <\/p>\n

The details: <\/strong>The project \u2014 dubbed the Ghubrah 3 desalination plant \u2014 will have a production capacity of 300k cubic meters per day and is set to be the largest desal plant in Oman at 70.4k square meters. It is expected to begin operations in 1Q 2027. The consortium will carry out the construction works under the JV The Capital Desalination Company, which is chaired by GS Inima\u2019s CEO Marta Verde. The project is set to be the largest desalination plant in Oman \u2014 located on a land area of 70.4k sqm.<\/p>\n

Nama is transitioning to renewables: <\/strong>Nama is establishing a hydrogen infrastructure company<\/a> with Hydrom, OQ Gas Networks, and the Oman Electricity Transmission Company. The company has also opened pre-qualification requests for five new independent power producer (IPP) wind projects<\/a> in Oman with a total capacity of over 1 GW. Nama PWP also has waste-to-energy (WtE) plans in the works, and is studying the feasibility of producing biogas from wastewater sludge as a promising WtE initiative. <\/p>\n

And is already on its way:<\/strong> InfraCo \u2014 a new shared hydrogen infrastructure company under establishment by Nama Water Services, Hydrogen Oman, OQ Gas Networks, and the Oman Electricity Transmission Company \u2014 are working on building infrastructure<\/a> for green hydrogen projects across the Al Wusta and Dhofar governorates, including desalinated water supply systems to power hydrogen production sites. Nama also signed an agreement with TotalEnergies to build a 17 MW solar project to power its Sur desalination plant under a JV with France\u2019s Veolia. <\/p>\n

IN OTHER NAMA NEWS-<\/strong>Oman <\/strong>launches energy mix study: <\/strong>Nama PWP is implementing a strategic study to determine the optimal mix of energy resources for the next 15 years, Oman Observer<\/a> reports. The study \u2014 titled the Optimum Energy Mix and Storage study \u2014 will also explore energy storage technologies, and is part of a larger program by Oman to support the large-scale adoption of solar and wind projects, enhancing energy efficiency, and supporting the digitalization of services. <\/p>\n

What they said:<\/strong> \u201cPWP commissioned a strategic study in coordination with different stakeholders to model and analyze scenarios relating to the transition path for Oman\u2019s generation mix until 2040, with a particular focus on the transition from today\u2019s predominantly gas-based system to a mixed system,\u201d CEO Ahmed bin Salim al Abri said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
