O-Green's 58 MW Duqm Wind Pilot Ties Oman Renewables to Industrial Power Demand

Newsroom brief

O-Green is developing a 58 MW pilot wind farm in the Duqm Special Economic Zone to support clean-power use in Oman's industrial buildout. The Duqm North and South Wind Project will use six 9.6 MW turbines and is expected to generate around 190 gigawatt-hours of electricity annually. The practical question is whether O-Green can turn its Duqm pilot and wider renewable portfolio into reliable power for manufacturing and industrial demand.

Duqm Wind Pilot Links Oman Clean Power With Industrial Infrastructure

O-Green is developing a 58 MW pilot wind farm in the Duqm Special Economic Zone, adding a test bed for renewable power tied directly to Oman's industrial buildout.

The project, formally named the Duqm North and South Wind Project (DNSWP), will use six wind turbine generators, each with a capacity of 9.6 MW.

The turbines are planned across two sites within the special economic zone.

The pilot is expected to generate around 190 gigawatt-hours of electricity a year and support decarbonisation of a wind turbine manufacturing plant that O-Green is developing in Duqm.

No start date or completion date was disclosed for the 58 MW pilot wind farm, and no buyer or power offtake for the pilot was named.

A Renewable Portfolio Bigger Than the Pilot

The Duqm pilot sits inside a broader O-Green clean energy portfolio exceeding 11 GW of solar and wind generation capacity and 4.5 gigawatt-hours of battery energy storage capacity.

Those projects are in different stages of planning and development across Oman, the GCC, Africa and Europe.

The already secured portion includes more than 3.3 GW on the generation side and 2.4 gigawatt-hours in storage.

One project under implementation is a 2.7 GW round-the-clock renewable energy project for Duqm and Mahout that combines solar, wind and battery systems.

For the 2.7 GW project, the long-term Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) names Nama Power and Water Procurement Company (PWP) as the counterparty.

That arrangement links the Duqm and Mahout plan to Oman's central power-procurement channel.

A separate Suhar Industrial City project adds 93 MW of solar capacity through a partnership with the Public Establishment for Industrial Estates (Madayn).

Its clean-power supply is intended for more than 200 industrial facilities, with commercial operations expected to begin in September.

Industrial Power Becomes the Market Signal

O-Green is developing a wind turbine manufacturing plant at the Duqm Special Economic Zone.

Phase 1 of the facility is in early development and will focus on multi-megawatt-class turbines based on technology licensed from Shanghai Electric Group.

The company is also working with Botswana Power Corporation on a 500 MW solar photovoltaic plant in Maun as part of a wider bilateral cooperation initiative targeting projects with a combined capacity of up to 3,000 MW.

O-Green was founded in 2025 as a partnership between OQ Alternative Energy, part of OQ Group, and Naqaa Sustainable Energy.

The digital infrastructure angle is still at an early stage.

O-Green is also focused on AI-enabled, cloud and hyperscale data centres powered by renewable energy in Oman and Europe.

The practical question is whether the company can move the Duqm wind pilot from planned deployment into reliable generation that supports manufacturing and wider industrial power demand.
