Oman is set to launch its first-ever community solar power station<\/strong> on Tuesday, June 23, 2026, in a landmark move that expands access to renewable energy for households and businesses across the Sultanate. The project, overseen by the Authority for Public Services Regulation (APSR) in partnership with Nama Group, is part of the national “Imtidad” programme.<\/p>\n Located in the Al Wadi Al Kabir<\/strong> area of Muscat Governorate, this station is the first of its kind in Oman. Its key innovation: subscribers do NOT need to install solar panels on their own roofs. Instead, they subscribe to the community station, which is connected to the national grid, and receive bill credits for the energy generated.<\/p>\n The station is expected to serve as a practical model for similar projects across Oman’s governorates, paving the way for a community-based transformation in how solar energy is adopted.<\/p>\n The APSR launched the “Imtidad” programme in partnership with licensed electricity companies, under the patronage of H.E. Salim bin Nasser Al Aufi, Minister of Energy and Minerals.<\/p>\n This initiative supports Oman’s renewable energy targets under Vision 2040<\/strong>, aiming for 30% renewable electricity by 2030 and carbon neutrality. The APSR confirmed the initiative will establish a framework for community solar projects nationwide.<\/p>\n Perfect for households without suitable rooftops, tenants, and small businesses seeking energy savings without capital investment.<\/p>\n The launch of Oman’s first community solar station marks a milestone. By enabling access without rooftop installations, the Imtidad programme democratizes clean energy.
