Project summary

Nama PWP is reported to be procuring legal support for development and competitive tendering of three Solar 2030 IPPs connected to Oman's Main Interconnected System. The planned combined capacity is approximately 3GW, with Q2 2030 operation targeted. This is preparatory advisory work rather than an EPC invitation.

Evidence and access caveats

The 10 October and 18 October dates cannot be reconciled from the accessible official evidence. Do not rely on either date without client confirmation or treat the generating projects as open construction tenders.
