The Public Establishment for Industrial Estates – Madayn, Mubadrah, and Solar Wadi signed an agreement today [Tuesday, October 12] with the objective to construct a 100MW Solar PV Farm in Suhar Industrial City to be operational by next year.

This step comes as part of the overall strategy of Madayn to providing a significant portion of the energy needs of its tenants from a renewable energy source to enhance and achieve its sustainability targets.

It also comes in line with Oman Vision 2040’s sustainability goals and helps to reduce electricity costs for its tenants.

The agreement was signed by Eng. Musallam bin Mohammed Al Shehri, Head of Operations Sector at Madayn, Mustafa Al Lawati, Chief Executive Officer of Mubadrah; and Yazan Faouri, Chief Executive Officer of Solar Wadi.

Madayn and its partners plan to roll out the Madayn Renewable Energy Project initiative across all industrial cities and free zones in the coming years, utilising a combination of overall Holistic Solutions which involves a larger centralized solar plant.
