The proposed project, which aims to provide OWWSC's operation assets with a cheaper and green source of electricity, is sized between 10-15 MWp of capacity. It will generate renewable energy as part of Oman's environmental sustainability towards vision 2040 and contribute to reducing carbon emission roadmap to achieve the Net Zero target by 2050.
