O-Green, a clean energy company established by the government of Oman, has achieved financial closure for a 93 MW solar project that will supply power to more than 200 industrial facilities. The project is being developed in partnership with Ahli Islamic, the Islamic Banking window of Ahlibank. Additionally, O-Green signed an agreement with the Arab Open University in Oman to develop a solar power plant on the university campus.

Sungrow with ACO and Korra Energi commissioned a 1.4 MWp solar system at the Esh El Mallaha petroleum facility in Hurghada, Egypt.  The project is expected to reduce the petroleum facility’s dependence on diesel-based power generation. The installation uses nine SG150CX string inverters with multi-maximum power point tracking technology to optimize solar yield. The system is expected to generate 125 MWh annually.

3E, ORG, Engazaat, Habiba Community, and the Alexandria University Center of Excellence for Water partnered to set up 6 kWp desert agrivoltaics pilot projects in Egypt. The project is located in a remote arid region of South Sinai. Following the pilot project, the partners are also implementing an additional 100 kWp agri-solar installation in Al Moghra, Marsa Matrouh. The installation of solar panels over agricultural land is expected to improve growing conditions in extreme-heat environments such as Egypt.

O-Green is developing a 58 MW pilot wind project in the Duqm Special Economic Zone in Oman. The project, comprising wind turbines of 9.6 MW, is expected to generate around 190 GWh of electricity annually.  The wind project forms part of a broader portfolio of clean energy projects exceeding 11 GW of solar and wind generation capacity and 4.5 GWh of battery energy storage capacity, across Oman, the Gulf Cooperation Council, Africa, and Europe, in various stages of planning and development. To date, the company has secured more than 3.3 GW of generation capacity and 2.4 GWh of storage capacity. O-Green is developing a wind turbine manufacturing plant at the Duqm SEZ. Phase 1 of the facility.
