Riyah-1 and Riyah-2, two 100 MW wind projects, located in Amin and West Nimr fields in southern Oman. The construction will start in early 2025, and the electricity production in late 2026. These solar and wind projects will generate over 1.4 TWh of renewable electricity annually.
The project's overall transmission capacity is projected at 1,700 MW, with a net transfer capacity of 1,200 MW, reflecting a significant advancement in Gulf Cooperation Council energy integration. This interconnection initiative is poised to deliver substantial benefits to both Oman and the GCC nations.
This interconnection initiative is poised to deliver substantial benefits to both Oman and the GCC nations. The enhanced power exchange will streamline the transfer of electricity, minimizing the necessity for new power plants and optimizing existing generation capacity.
TotalEnergies has been present in Oman since 1937. The Company launched in 2024 the integrated Marsa LNG project (80%), which combines natural gas production from Block 10, a full electric liquefaction plant of 1Mt/y capacity intended to serve as the first LNG bunkering hub in the Middle East and a dedicated 300 MWp PV solar plant.
TotalEnergies' oil and gas production in Oman was 66 kboe/d in the third quarter 2024. TotalEnergies produces oil in Block 6 (4%), natural gas in Block 10 (26.55% via Marsa LNG LLC) as well as LNG through its participation in Oman LNG (5.54%)/Qalhat LNG (2.04% via Oman LNG).
