Oman Advances Renewable Energy Push With Marsa Solar IPP Consultancy Tender

The Sultanate of Oman has taken another significant step toward strengthening its renewable energy sector with the launch of the procurement process for the Marsa Solar Independent Power Project (IPP). Nama Power and Water Procurement Company (PWP), the entity responsible for procuring new power and water generation capacity in Oman, has officially invited proposals from qualified consultants to provide project management and supervisory consultancy services for the project.

According to the tender notice, the selected consultant will oversee key activities during the construction, testing, commissioning, and overall project implementation phases. The consultancy assignment is expected to play an important role in ensuring that the solar project is completed efficiently, meets technical requirements, and adheres to established quality and safety standards.

The tender has been issued under Tender Number OPWP/2026/018. PWP has opened the opportunity to eligible and experienced consulting firms capable of delivering project management and construction supervision services for large-scale renewable energy projects. The initiative reflects Oman’s continued commitment to expanding clean energy generation and reducing dependence on conventional fossil fuel-based power sources.

The tender documents are available for purchase through the official PWP website in electronic format. The tender purchase period commenced on June 4, 2026, and will continue until June 15, 2026. The tender fee has been set at OMR 100, while small and medium-sized enterprises holding a valid Riyada card are eligible to obtain the documents free of charge.

Interested bidders must submit their proposals by July 26, 2026, at 12:00 PM Oman time. As part of the submission requirements, bidders are required to provide a tender bond or a bank-certified cheque equivalent to at least one percent of the tender value. The guarantee must remain valid for 120 days from the submission deadline.

The Marsa Solar IPP represents another milestone in Oman’s renewable energy development strategy. As utility-scale solar investments continue to gain momentum across the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region, the project is expected to attract interest from international engineering consultants, renewable energy EPC contractors, technical advisory firms, owner’s engineers, lenders’ technical consultants, and solar technology providers.

Industry observers view the tender as a positive indication of Oman’s growing renewable energy pipeline and its commitment to supporting a cleaner and more sustainable energy future. The project is expected to contribute to the country’s broader energy transition goals while encouraging further investment in the solar power sector.
