Currently, the contribution of renewable energy in the supply mix is negligible. According to Oman 2040 vision, the contribution of renewable energy should reach 20% and 35–39% of total consumption in the years 2030 and 2040, respectively. The first 500 MW solar PV power plant is to be commissioned in 2021.
