Oman, Muscat: Egypt-based infrastructure developer Madkour Group has been awarded a contract for the construction of a major grid station that will support the evacuation of power from a new wind farm planned for development at Jaalan Bani Bu Ali in Al Sharqiyah South Governorate. The client is the Oman Electricity Transmission Company (OETC), the operator of the country’s national grid. With the contract, the company marks its debut in Oman’s energy infrastructure sector.
Madkour Group said it will construct a 132 kV grid station linked to a wind farm of capacity ranging from 100-200 MW at Jaalan Bani Bu Ali. A 132 kV overhead line will also be laid connecting the new grid station to the Al Jawabi substation.
“This strategic project is part of the development of the Jaalan Bani Bu Ali wind farm, which has a production capacity of 100-200 megawatts that will contribute to increasing renewable energy generation in Oman and supporting the country’s climate goals. This project reaffirms Madkour’s commitment to Oman Vision 2040 for a sustainable future, through reinforcing the transition to renewable energy,” the company commented.
The Jaalan Bani Bu Ali wind farm is one of five wind-based Independent Power Projects (IPPs) under competitive procurement by Nama Power and Water Procurement Company (PWP).
