The Oman Electricity Transmission Company (OETC) is implementing projects worth RO183 million ($474 million) under its strategic scheme ‘Rabt’ across the sultanate.

The first phase of the project covers five grid stations, including Nahida (400/132 kV), Suwayhat (400/132 kV), Barik (400/132 kV), Duqm (400/132/33 kV) and Mahut (400/33 kV). It also includes the laying of 400-kilovolt (kV) overhead power lines covering 670 km to connect these stations.

This comes as part of OETC’s commitment to enhancing the reliability and security of the electricity network and supply across various regions of the sultanate.

Phase One work commenced in October 2023 and the official launch was held recently under the patronage of Sayyid Bilarab bin Haitham Al Said.
