Oman’s Nama Power and Water Procurement Company (PWP) is searching for a consultancy to support the development of the Marsa solar independent power project.

The tender notice says the chosen consultant will be responsible for providing project management and supervisory consultancy services for the project during its construction, commissioning and testing.

The Marsa solar project is set for build near existing transmission infrastructure in the Al Dakhiliyah governorate. It will supply energy to the nearby Marsa LNG project, a low-emissions liquefied natural gas facility at the Port of Sohar, with the remaining electricity exported to the grid.

According to details published by the developer of the Marsa LNG project, TotalEnergies, the Marsa solar site will have a capacity of 300 MW.

Prospective applicants can purchase tender documents through PWP’s website for a fee of OMR 100 ($260.08) until June 15. The fee is waived for small and medium-sized enterprises with a valid Riyada card. The deadline to submit applications is July 26.

Oman’s cumulative solar capacity reached 1,672 MW by the end of last year, according to figures published by the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA).
