Siemens Energy will supply key power generation technology and provide long-term service support for the Misfah and Duqm Independent Power Producer (IPP) projects in Oman, strengthening the country’s efforts to expand its electricity generation capacity and meet rising energy demand.
With a planned capacity of nearly 2.6 gigawatts, the two combined-cycle power plants will increase the country’s electricity capacity by almost 20 percent and help deliver reliable power to more than 2 million people.
Siemens Energy’s scope includes six F-class gas turbines, six generators, and corresponding twenty-year long-term service agreements.
The power plants will help meet Oman’s increasing demand for electricity by adding new generation capacity in two strategically important locations. Misfah, located in Muscat Governorate, sits within one of the Sultanate’s largest electricity demand centres, while Duqm is situated in the Special Economic Zone at Duqm in Al Wusta Governorate, a key industrial and logistics hub on the Arabian Sea coast.
The projects are being developed by a consortium comprising Etihad Water and Electricity Company PJSC, Nebras Power Investment Management B.V., Bahwan Infrastructure Services LLC, and Korea Western Power Co. Ltd. Doosan Enerbility, in consortium with SEPCO-3, is responsible for the engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) of the plants, while Nama Power and Water Procurement Company will serve as the offtaker for the electricity generated.

“The Misfah and Duqm projects reflect Oman’s commitment to building a resilient and future-ready energy system. By working with leading technology providers such as Siemens Energy and deploying advanced gas turbines with hydrogen co-firing capabilities, we are strengthening the reliability of electricity supply while supporting our long-term strategy to diversify the Sultanate’s energy mix. This will help create the flexibility to increase the use of hydrogen over time as our energy transition progresses. This collaboration will further set the foundation for a lower-carbon power system, enhance energy security, and support the goals of Oman Vision 2040.”
Karim Amin, Member of the Executive Board of Siemens Energy, said that, “As the Sultanate continues to expand its industrial base and electricity infrastructure, flexible and reliable power will be critical in this next chapter, supporting grid stability and enabling greater integration of renewables in the system.”
“Siemens Energy is proud to support this journey, and build on a strong legacy in Oman, by providing our cutting-edge gas turbines, expertise, and service capabilities to the flagship Misfah and Duqm power plants to deliver highly efficient energy and add a significant 2.6 GW to Oman’s power system, helping meet evolving demand and ambitious energy targets,” Amin added.
