OQ Alternative Energy, a subsidiary of OQ Group, marked the arrival of the first batch of wind turbines for the Wind 1 and Wind 2 projects at Duqm Port in the Special Economic Zone at Duqm (SEZAD).

These projects constitute the largest wind farms under construction in Oman.

The shipment includes unprecedented standard components that are the first of their kind in Oman, reported ONA.

The total height of each turbine reaches 200 meters above ground level, with the longest wind blades reaching 90.2 meters per blade, in addition to the tallest wind turbine towers to be installed in the country.

Each turbine has a production capacity of about 6.5 megawatts (MW), which is enough to supply approximately 2,400 Omani homes with clean energy annually.

These qualitative specifications enhance Oman's technical capabilities in renewable energy and reflect its commitment to integrating the latest global technologies into its energy infrastructure.

The ceremony also included a site visit at Duqm Port, during which attendees reviewed the complex transport and handling operations of these giant components.

A technical explanation was provided regarding the turbine parts, operating systems, and installation phases, followed by a field tour of the project site.

The arrival of these turbines represents a strong indicator of Oman's accelerated steps toward expanding clean energy production and diversifying the energy mix, in line with Oman Vision 2040 and the Net-Zero targets by 2050.

The Wind 1 and Wind 2 projects will feed renewable energy into the electricity network of Petroleum Development Oman (PDO), which will contribute to saving cubic meters of gas annually, enhancing operational efficiency, and reducing carbon dioxide emissions.

This achievement highlights Oman's capacity to attract the latest global technologies and implement major renewable energy infrastructure, thereby enhancing its position as a regional hub for clean energy and supporting its long-term economic and environmental growth.

Ghalib Al Maamari, Acting CEO of OQ Alternative Energy, said that the arrival of the first wind turbines for the Wind 1 and Wind 2 projects represents a pivotal moment in Oman's renewable energy journey and clear evidence of the firm commitment to building a cleaner and more sustainable future.

He noted that with the arrival of these turbines, the company is preparing to move to the next phase of implementation, supported by a common will to deliver world-class renewable energy projects.

He added that these projects will contribute to enhancing the national energy system, supporting supply resilience, and opening new horizons for expansion in the fields of green hydrogen and renewable energy technologies.

For his part, Olivier Jouny, Senior Vice President of Renewables at TotalEnergies, stated that cooperation with OQ Alternative Energy is a fundamental pillar in accelerating the pace of energy transition in Oman.

He explained that the development of Wind 1 and Wind 2 projects, which together will provide 234 MW of clean energy, will enhance the renewable energy infrastructure in Oman and reduce carbon emissions.

He emphasized that the partnership between national institutions and global expertise enhances innovation, supports knowledge transfer, and contributes to achieving sustainable progress.

The wind projects constitute a successful example of international and local partnerships, directly supporting the goals of Oman Vision 2040 to achieve Net-Zero by 2050.

Mohammed Al Aghbari, External Affairs, Government Relations, and Communications Manager at Petroleum Development Oman (PDO), said that the company seeks to sustain its oil and gas production operations and provide 50% of its electricity needs from renewable sources by 2030 through investment in renewable energy projects like these two pioneering wind power projects, based on its environmental responsibility and commitment to achieving Net-Zero carbon neutrality by 2050.

Omar Al Mahrizi, CEO of Asyad Ports and Free Zones, stated that the contribution of Asyad Container Terminal - Duqm to the "Wind 1" and "Wind 2" wind power projects embodies a model of integration between the logistics and energy sectors in Oman. This affirms the depth of national partnership and its role in pushing Oman towards transformation in the energy sector, consistent with the objectives of Oman Vision 2040.

He pointed out that the handling and transport operations of 36 wind turbines were managed at Asyad Terminals in Duqm, weighing more than 298 thousand tons, which proves the team's readiness and ability to handle complex and massive shipments with high efficiency and according to the highest international operational standards.

This reflects its commitment to teamwork and joint effort with strategic partners to achieve national goals.

He added that this success embodies Asyad Group's commitment to providing integrated logistical solutions that support the renewable energy system in Oman, transforming the national vision for sustainability into a practical reality that solidifies Oman's position on the map of global trade and supply chains.
