Records by technology

Counts records, not generation share · coverage & dates

Reported capacity is the rated size of the listed installations, not electricity being produced now. Source dates and coverage differ, so newer facilities may be absent and historical records may remain.

How electricity works in Oman

Single buyerOne state buyer, private generators

Gas supplies most power; a spot market started in the main interconnected system in 2022.

  1. GenerationState utility + private producers

Regional grid

  • GCC Interconnection AuthorityRegional grid

    Connected to the Gulf Cooperation Council grid, which links the six Gulf states for emergency support and power trading.

What does “Single buyer” mean?

Independent power producers build plants and sell their output under long-term contracts to one designated state buyer, usually the national utility, which runs the grid and sells to consumers.
