US-based company Astonfield and the Omani Rural Areas Electricity Company recently signed the first agreement to generate electricity from renewable energy resources like the sun in Oman. Astonfield, in cooperation with the local firm Multitech, will establish a pilot solar power plant in the state of Al Mazyunah in the Dhofar Governorate, which will begin commercial operation in mid-2014 with a 303 KW capacity.

The power purchase agreement for the Al Mazyunah Solar Energy Project marks a turning point in electricity generation in Oman and showcases how US technical  expertise can meet Oman’s unique power demand situation.
