Oman''s first solar thermal water project set for launch
MUSCAT: Omani upstream energy firm ARA Petroleum is preparing to commission one of the world''s first solar thermal powered, zero emission desalination plants in the Sultanate of Oman –
Solar energy is a vital and strategic solution for the provision of electric power in the Sultanate of Oman, given its vast unused land and available solar energy resources. This makes Oman an excellent potential candidate for solar energy development and deployment.
Muscat Governorate alone could generate 450 megawatts of power, which is similar to a mid-sized gas-based power plant.
The Authority for Electricity Regulation Oman (AER) – Oman's power sector regulator, is taking steps to pave the way for homeowners to install rooftop solar panels. Any surplus electricity generated can be sent back into the national grid.
The highest solar radiation in Oman is found in Marmul. Other regions with high solar radiation include Fahud, Sohar, and Qairoon Hairiti. The desert areas in Oman generally have the highest insolation of solar energy, while the coastal areas have the least.
