A combination of factors, including climate change, rising energy demands and limited hydrocarbons resources, have driven Oman''s renewable energy agenda in recent years. Although renewables were estimated to have made up less than 1% of the country''s electricity mix in 2018, the Oman Power and Water Procurement Company (OPWP)
This is only a start: McKinsey modeling for the study suggests that by 2040, LDES has the potential to deploy 1.5 to 2.5 terawatts (TW) of power capacity—or eight to 15 times the total energy-storage capacity deployed today—globally. Likewise, it could deploy 85 to 140 terawatt-hours (TWh) of energy capacity by 2040 and store up to
Currently, the contribution of renewable energy in the supply mix is negligible. According to Oman 2040 vision, the contribution of renewable energy should reach 20% and 35–39% of total consumption in the years 2030 and 2040, respectively. The first 500 MW solar PV power plant is to be commissioned in 2021.
