2. An Overview
of Oman’s
Utilities Sector
oman power & water exhibition & conference2
Oman’s growing economy, as seen in the spate of large-
scale infrastructure projects resulting from rapid urban
and industrial expansion, fast-growing population and
change in modern lifestyle, are contributing much to boost
demand for power and water. Developing sustainable
water and energy supplies and finding innovative sources
are critical to the country’s immediate and long-term future,
which is high in the government’s agenda. Currently, it is
focusing its attention on developing renewable energy on
electricity production, boosting investment opportunities
and capacity, and implementing big projects.
A long-term energy infrastructure master plan, dubbed the Oman
Electricity Transmission System Plan (2014-2030), designed by Oman
Electricity Transmission Company (OETC), which operates the northern
half of the electricity grid, outlines “a well-defined target for harnessing
the Sultanate’s prodigious but largely untapped renewable energy
resources, chiefly solar and wind power, to help meet the country’s
galloping electricity demand, currently averaging 10 per cent annually.”
Energy Master
Plan
Based on the government-
owned Oman Power
& Water Procurement
Company (OPWP), demand
is foreseen to grow by
almost 9.5 to 10 per cent
yearly until 2019.
National Water Sector
Master Plan
Oman’s National Water Sector Master Plan, includes a blueprint, spanning 25 years, for expanding and
reinforcing the country’s water transmission and distribution infrastructure.Its projected capital expenditure
till 2040 is estimated at U$ 6.5 billion, with new water infrastructure expected to cost US$ 389.6 million
annually over the 10-to-15-year master plan.
The investment will partly go to the development of new networks to server green-field areas being
added to the water grid, while the rest will be utilized to finance the cost of renewing old transmission and
distribution infrastructure.
Oman’s water sector
is experiencing strong
demand, which is
anticipated to continue to
rise at the rate of 7 per cent
through 2021.
Wastewater
Master Plan
Oman will also invest US$ 2.8 billion for new wastewater projects across
the country. During its 9th Five-Year Plan (2016-2020), Haya Water, a
government-owned entity, is mandated to manage, operate and maintain
all wastewater networks, desalination facilities, pumping stations and
sewage treatment plants in Oman, as well as the development of a
national master plan for the management of the country’s wastewater
and operate Muscat’s (the city’s capital) biggest sewage network. This
involves an investment of US$ 6.25 billion at a rate of about US$ 258.9
million per year, and aims to connect 80 per cent of Muscat residents by
2020, up from the current 30 per cent.
A Message from the Public Authority for Electricity & Water
It is my pleasure to welcome you all to the third edition of the Oman Power and Water Conference and Exhibition, organized by
the Public Authority for Electricity and Water in partnership with Omanexpo, the pioneer exhibitions and conference organizer
in Oman, whose events are recognized to contribute to the advancement of Oman’s key industries.
This event aims to showcase the Sultanate’s major multi-million power and water projects,
support the government’s long-term energy and water infrastructure plan, attract public,
private and foreign investment, and present business opportunities in order to fulfill the rising
demand for these resources. The exhibition will provide individuals, companies, and industry
professionals with the opportunity to learn about the latest and innovative products, tools,
and technology that facilitate the production and distribution process.
The Conference will serve as a venue for knowledge sharing, gaining insight into the current
issues as well as developments in the sector, learning best practices, and establishing
new business relations. We look forward to your involvement and participation in this most
significant event and in your support to help advance this growing sector.

The two water projects make up the single largest procurement of water desalination capacity in
Oman. The water schemes will be powered from the grid. The 281,000 m3/d Barka IWP will be
the larger of the two schemes. The Sohar IWP will have a desalination capacity of 250,000 m3/d.
Commercial operation is set in April 2018.
Combined Project Cost: US$1 billion
SOHAR AND BARKA INDEPENDENT WATER PROJECT
The expansion of the 80,000 cm3 Sur Desalination Plant, adding 10 MIGD (50,000 cm3) and
located adjacent to the existing reverse osmosis project.
SHARQIYAH WATER DESALINATION PROJECT
SALALAH INDEPENDENT WATER AND POWER PROJECT
A gas-fired power plant and with a gross capacity of 490 megawatts (MW) and a reverse osmosis
seawater desalination facility with an output of 15 million imperial gallons (69,000 cubic meters)
per day.
Project Cost: US$700 million
MAZYUNAH SOLAR PLANT PROJECT
The expansion of the initial U$1-million solar project for the rural grid at Mazyunah to a further
three sites. The project is expected to have an annual generation capacity of 558 MWh at peak
capacity and is seen to save some 155,000 litres of diesel per year.
The first coal-fired power plant in Oman, and one of the first in the Gulf region, it is a proposed
1,000-megawatt (MW) coal-fired power station associated with a desalination plant. It is slated
to be operational in April 2018.
Estimated Project Cost: US$2 billion
DUQM INDEPENDENT WATER AND POWER PROJECT
The establishment of an irrigation network with a total length of about 63 kilometers, which will be
utilized for irrigation and other commercial and industrial usages. It boasts a capacity of 10,000
cubic meters per day.
LIWA SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT (STP)
MUSCAT WASTEWATER PROJECT
The construction of what is equated to be the largest membrane bioreactor (MBR) plant in the
world, which will ultimately serve 90 per cent of the city’s residents by 2017. This involves the
provision of the 53,000m/day treatment works at Al Ansab in the Bausher region and the extension
and further development of facilities in the Al Seeb area. The work also involves extending the
capacity of the Darsait WWTP by 7,500m3/day and constructing a 25-kilometer trunk line and a
drainage basin near Muscat.
