The recently inaugurated Miraah solar plant located at the Amal oilfield in the south of the Sultanate will be among the world’s largest solar projects when completed
Petroleum Development Oman (PDO) and GlassPoint Solar have recently inaugurated the Miraah solar plant, under the patronage of HE Salim bin Nasser Al Aufi, undersecretary of the Ministry of Oil and Gas. Miraah, located at the Amal oilfield in the south of the Sultanate, will be among the world’s largest solar projects when completed. Four blocks of the plant have now been constructed safely, on time and on budget with steam production integrated with the Amal network. The event also marked the official opening of the Miraah Visitor Centre with more than 200 guests in attendance, including representatives from both the public and private sectors.
“Today marks an important milestone for Oman as it further cements its position as the regional leader in energy convergence, uniting renewable and conventional energy industries. Deploying solar on Oman’s oilfields to reduce the industry’s natural gas consumption has a significant and lasting economic benefit for the Sultanate,” HE Al Aufi said.
