Project is currently under planning stage.

Client is preparing to embark on the second phase of its landmark project to interconnect the two networks into one unified national grid. Phase 1, currently nearing completion, covers the construction of around 660 kilometres of 400kV overhead transmission lines linking the Main Interconnected System (MIS) in the north of Oman with the isolated networks of Petroleum Development Oman (PDO) and the Rural Areas Electricity Company (Tanweer) in Duqm. In Phase 2, due to commence later this year, 400kV transmission lines will run from Duqm further south for a distance of about 502 kilometres to link up with the existing Dhofar System. The company is currently in the process of preparing for tenders that will be floated in the coming months.

Project is currently under design stage. This Phase 2 of the interconnector is scheduled for completion by the fourth quarter of 2026 and will connect the Dhofar Power System (DPS) with the MIS. This interconnector will help to meet the requirements of DPS in the short and long term. Oman Electricity Transmission Company (SAOC) is currently working on the first phase to connect the Ad Duqm power system to the country’s main interconnected system (MIS) in third quarter 2023 & has successfully achieved a remarkable progress percentage of 98.55 per cent, Nama Power and Water Procurement Company (SAOC) disclosed in its 2023-2029 power outlook report . The Ad Duqm region is currently served by Tanweer, the rural areas electricity company. The interconnect will enable supply from the MIS to Nama Distribution supply zones within the Petroleum Development Oman (PDO) concession area.
