Nama Power and Water Procurement Company (Nama PWP) has signed a 20-year power purchase agreement (PPA) with Sembcorp Utilities and OQ Alternative Energy (OQAE) to develop the 125 MW Dhofar II Wind Power Project in the Sultanate of Oman. The joint venture between Sembcorp and OQAE will build, own, and operate the project, which will supply electricity to Nama PWP once completed. The wind farm is expected to begin commercial operations in the third quarter of 2027
The Dhofar II project will comprise 20 Windey WD200 turbines, each with a capacity of 6.25 MW, reaching a height of 215 metres. It involves an investment of OMR 43 million, and will be connected to the national transmission grid through a 400 kV substation. Additionally, it is expected to produce around 396,754 MWh of electricity annually. It is also expected to reduce carbon emissions by about 158,000 tonnes annually.
The project will contribute to Oman’s economic diversification by enhancing local participation through the In-Country Value programme. This includes allocating part of the contracted works to local Omani firms, supporting small and medium enterprises, generating employment opportunities, and fostering industrial development in the Dhofar governorate. Furthermore, the project supports Oman’s goal of generating 30 per cent of its electricity from renewable energy sources under Oman Vision 2040.
