How will Oman's new energy policy affect energy storage?
MUSCAT: A new policy framework unveiled by Oman's Ministry of Energy and Minerals last week is expected to lend new impetus to the growth of integrated renewable energy capacity, encompassing not only generation and transmission, but crucially, energy storage as well.
Why are energy storage investments lagging in the Sultanate of Oman?
Investments in energy storage, while a critical component of clean energy infrastructure, have lagged in the Sultanate of Oman, among other markets around the world, chiefly because of high, upfront capital costs, as well as concerns over energy efficiency.
Does Oman need energy storage?
Acknowledging the “absence” of energy storage technologies in Oman, notably because of the “high-costs” involved, the new policy nevertheless seeks to enable the deployment of economically feasible battery storage infrastructure and for these attendant costs to be recouped from large consumers benefitting from such investments.
How has Oman restructured its energy sector?
In 2018, Oman restructured its utilities sector, making the Ministry of Oil & Gas (MOG) the main policymaker for all energy projects, and the MOG has also led on the implementation of several renewable energy projects.
