Developed in partnership between Veolia and TotalEnergies, the solar plant is a significant step toward decarbonization efforts in the region, as it is expected to reduce approximately 27,200 tonnes of CO2 emissions annually, equivalent to the emissions from roughly 6,000 internal combustion engine-powered vehicles over the same period.
The station will contribute to enhancing the development requirements in the wilayat of Shalim and Hallaniyat Islands by meeting the communityâs water needs, particularly in areas like Haqqa, Zakher, Ajarit, and their surroundings. By providing a local source of water, it eliminates the need for transporting water via tankers over long distances. Moreover, it promises to improve the quality and efficiency of water delivery.

H.E. Eng. Salim bin Nasser Al-Aufi, the Minister of Energy and Minerals in Oman, has officially inaugurated a 17-megawatt peak (MWp) solar photovoltaic (PV) farm designed to power the Sharqiyah Desalination Plant in Sur, Oman. This solar farm, the largest of its kind for a desalination facility in Oman, boasts an annual capacity of over 32,000 megawatt-hours (MWh) of green electricity, which will cover the plantâs entire daytime consumption.
MUSCAT: An Independent Water Project (IWP) at Sur, owned and operated by Sharqiyah Desalination Company SAOG (SDC), is set to become the first facility of its kind in the Sultanate of Oman and the wider Middle East region, to be powered by renewable electricityâŠ.
The installation will include approximately 32,000 photovoltaic panels over an area of ââ130,000 m2. It will produce more than a third of the daily consumption of the plant operated by VĂ©olia and the national company NPW.
âThis project is in line with our strategy, which is to develop renewable energies in the Middle East in order to provide our customers with clean, reliable and affordable solutions,â said Vincent Stoquart, Director of Renewables at TotalEnergies. We are committed to helping Veolia decarbonize its operations, leveraging our experience in deploying photovoltaic solutions on complex industrial sites.â This approach is also [âŠ]
Minerals Development Oman (MDO), the governmentâs mining and mineral processing flagship, has signed a contract with Petroleum Development Oman (PDO) for the development of the Qarn Al Alam Hypersaline Associated Produced Water Desalination project.
The initiative will allow MDO, a subsidiary of OIA, to treat the produced water from Qarm Alam to extract salts and milerals.
According to TotalEnergies, the 17-megawatt peak solar project will be the first of its kind to be installed in the region. It produces annually over 30,000 megawatt-hours (MWh) of green electricity, or more than a third of the desalination plantâs daily consumption, enabling it to avoid close to 300,000 tons of CO2 emissions.Source)
