The power plants will support Oman’s growing need for additional power generation capacity in two strategically important locations: Misfah is located within one of the Sultanate’s largest electricity demand centers in the Muscat Governorate, while Duqm is positioned inside the Special Economic Zone at Duqm in Al Wusta Governorate, a key industrial and logistics hub on the Arabian Sea coast.
The projects are being developed by a consortium comprising Etihad Water and Electricity Company PJSC, Nebras Power Investment Management B.V., Bahwan Infrastructure Services LLC, and Korea Western Power Co., Ltd. Doosan Enerbility, in consortium with SEPCO-3, is responsible for the engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) of the plants, while Nama Power and Water Procurement Company will serve as the offtaker for the electricity generated.
In a visit to Siemens Energy’s gas turbine factory in Berlin this week, H.E. Salim Al Aufi, Oman’s Minister of Energy and Minerals, said: "The Misfah and Duqm projects reflect Oman's commitment to building a resilient and future-ready energy system. By working with leading technology providers such as Siemens Energy, and deploying advanced gas turbines with hydrogen co-firing capabilities, we are strengthening the reliability of electricity supply while supporting our long-term strategy to diversify the Sultanate's energy mix. This will help create the flexibility to increase the use of hydrogen over time as our energy transition progresses. This collaboration will further set the foundation for a lower-carbon power system, enhance energy security, and support the goals of Oman Vision 2040."
Karim Amin, Member of the Executive Board of Siemens Energy, added: “As the Sultanate continues to expand its industrial base and electricity infrastructure, flexible and reliable power will be critical in this next chapter, supporting grid stability and enabling greater integration of renewables in the system. We are proud to support this journey, and build on a strong legacy in Oman, by providing our cutting-edge gas turbines, expertise, and service capabilities to the flagship Misfah and Duqm power plants to deliver highly efficient energy and add a significant 2.6 GW to Oman’s power system, helping meet evolving demand and ambitious energy targets.”
The components for both projects will be produced within Siemens Energy’s manufacturing sites in Germany. The SGT5-4000F gas turbines will be manufactured in Berlin, while the SGen5-2000P generators will be manufactured in Muelheim.
