OQ Alternative Energy (OQAE) has signed an agreement with Naqaa Sustainable Energy LLC to jointly develop wind power projects across the Wilayats of Duqm, Mahout, and Sadah.
This marks a major step towards accelerating Oman’s clean energy transition. The projects, with a combined capacity of 1,100 megawatts, will be located in the Dhofar and Al Wusta governorates.
These projects will be powered by locally manufactured wind turbines from Mawarid Turbine, a facility expected to be established in Duqm under a previously signed memorandum of cooperation between OQ and Mawarid Turbine.
This agreement between OQAE and Naqaa reinforces Oman’s strategy to localize renewable energy technology, support domestic manufacturing, and enhance in-country value.
The agreement was signed under the patronage of Eng. Salim Nasser Al Aufi, Minister of Energy and Minerals. Eng. Said Mohammed Al Masoudi, Chairman of OQAE , and Mustafa Mohammed Al Hinai, CEO of Naqaa Sustainable Energy, formalized the partnership during the ceremony.
Eng. Said Al Masoudi stated that, “This agreement is a tangible expression of the government’s vision to expand renewable energy sources and drive sustainable development across Oman. It reinforces the vital role of OQAE as a national investment platform for clean energy solutions, strengthening the electricity grid and addressing the needs of the future through its subsidiary OQ Alternative Energy.”

The collaboration is part of OQ Group’s wider initiative to build an integrated renewable energy value chain, foster innovation, and empower Omani startups within the green energy sector. It marks a significant milestone in Oman’s journey toward energy diversification and sustainability.
