Regulatory News:
In line with its multi-energy strategy in the Sultanate of Oman,
TotalEnergies (Paris:TTE) (LSE:TTE) (NYSE:TTE) is pleased to
announce, together with its partner OQ Alternative Energy (OQAE),
the National Renewable Energy Champion, the signing of landmark
agreements to develop 300 MW of renewable energy projects in the
country. The electricity will be delivered through long-term Power
Purchase Agreements (PPA) to Petroleum Development Oman (PDO), the
leading exploration and production company in the Sultanate.
With respectively 49% and 51% shares, TotalEnergies and OQAE
will lead in realizing three renewable projects:
- North Solar, a 100 MW solar project, located in Saih Nihaydah
in northern Oman;
- Riyah-1 and Riyah-2, two 100 MW wind projects, located in Amin
and West Nimr fields in southern Oman.
The construction will start in early 2025, and the electricity
production in late 2026. These solar and wind projects will
generate over 1.4 TWh of renewable electricity annually.
“Following our recent successes in the Sultanate of Oman,
notably with the launch of the Marsa LNG project in April, we are
pleased to make a new step in the deployment of our integrated
multi-energy strategy in Oman,” said Olivier Jouny, Senior Vice
President Renewables at TotalEnergies. “Together with our
partner OQAE, we are eager to start the construction of these three
projects which will provide long-term renewable electricity to PDO
while supporting the Sultanate in its energy transition”.
“We are delighted to sign these agreements, which further
reinforce our steadfast commitment to achieving Net Zero emissions
by 2050 in line with the objectives of Oman Vision 2040, mainly the
diversification of energy sources to ensure sustainable energy
security. PDO’s journey towards sustainability was firmly
established with previous groundbreaking initiatives, including the
Amin Solar IPP Power Plant and the Rima Water Treatment Project.
These projects, alongside the ones signed today, continue to
reshape Oman’s energy landscape by blending technological
innovation with environmental stewardship. They also support our
aim of sourcing 30% of our power capacity from renewables by 2026,
reflecting our dedication to a cleaner, sustainable future”, said
Dr Aflah Al Hadhrami, Managing Director of PDO.
“In partnership with PDO and TotalEnergies, OQAE is proud to
advance Oman’s transition toward sustainable energy. As an energy
transition enabler, we are delighted to lead the development of
these projects supporting PDO to achieve their decarbonization
plans. This significant milestone underscores the expertise and
dedication of all stakeholders involved. As the National Champion
for Clean Energy in Oman, OQAE is committed to supporting the
nation’s economic growth by developing innovative clean energy and
low-carbon projects. With a focus on environmental stewardship and
long-term prosperity, OQAE ensures the delivery of sustainable
solutions to meet Oman’s evolving industrial energy needs”, stated
Ms. Najla Zuhair Al Jamali, Chief Executive of OQ Alternative
Energy.
