On November 25, a consortium formed by China Energy Engineering Group’s China Electric Engineering International Company and East China Institute’s Hunan Thermal Power Unit signed an EPC contract for the 700MW photovoltaic + 150MWh energy storage power plant project in Ibrī, Oman, with companies such as Masdar, OQ, KOMIPO, and Al Khadra. https://p3-sign.toutiaoimg.com/tos-cn-i-axegupay5k/4c65f6dc80044b52ba7de8e8d6572474~tplv-tt-origin-web:gif.jpeg?_iz=58558&from=article.pc_detail&lk3s=953192f4&x-expires=1764806302&x-signature=8CwYAtn3swcrKwJnuSWRfMt%2FyhQ%3D The project is located in the city of Ibrī, Oman, and is an important part of Oman’s efforts to diversify its energy sources and achieve its “Vision 2040” goals; it involves the construction of a 700-megawatt photovoltaic power plant along with a 150-megawatt-hour energy storage system. The project utilizes ground-mounted photovoltaic technology and an innovative \"photovoltaics + energy storage\" approach, which enables effective mitigation of the volatility in photovoltaic power generation, enhances the grid’s capacity to accommodate clean energy, and provides a stable and reliable source of green electricity for the local area. The project is scheduled to enter commercial operation on November 4, 2026. Once fully operational, it is expected to generate around 1.6 billion kWh of clean electricity per year, sufficient to meet the energy needs of hundreds of thousands of households in the area. This will play an important role in improving the local energy structure and promoting green development.
