Oman Explores 800–1000 MW Green Hydrogen-Based IPP With Nama Power And Water Procurement Company Tender

Nama Power and Water Procurement Company (PWP) has announced a new tender to study the future use of green hydrogen in power generation in the Sultanate of Oman. The company is inviting a techno-economic consultant to assess the feasibility of setting up an Independent Power Project (IPP) that can run on hydrogen. This move is part of Oman’s wider plan to adopt cleaner and more sustainable energy solutions while supporting its long-term energy transition goals.

The main purpose of this consultancy is to carry out an initial study for a power plant that can operate on up to 100 percent hydrogen. The project is expected to be large, with a proposed capacity between 800 MW and 1,000 MW. If developed, this would be one of the significant steps toward using hydrogen as a reliable fuel for electricity generation in the region. It also reflects the country’s efforts to reduce carbon emissions and move toward a low-carbon energy system.

The tender has been issued under the reference number OPWP/2026/011. According to the announcement, the process for purchasing tender documents started on 4 May 2026 and will continue until 31 May 2026. Interested companies can obtain the documents online through the official website of the procurement company. The standard fee for the documents is 105 Omani Rial. However, to encourage participation from local businesses, small and medium enterprises (SMEs) with a valid Riyada card can access the documents free of cost.

Bidders who wish to participate must follow clear submission requirements. The deadline for submitting proposals is set for 21 June 2026 at 12:00 PM Oman time. All bids must include a tender bond or a certified bank cheque equal to at least 1 percent of the total bid value. This bond must remain valid for 120 days from the submission deadline. This requirement ensures that participating companies are committed to the process.

Nama PWP plays a key role in Oman’s electricity and water sector. It is responsible for procuring new capacity based on the country’s needs and operates under the framework of Royal Decree 78/2004. The latest tender shows the company’s focus on adopting advanced and clean technologies in the energy sector.

With this initiative, Oman is taking an important step toward exploring hydrogen as a future energy source. The project could open new opportunities for innovation, investment, and sustainable development in the country’s power sector.
