IDOM Secures Detailed Engineering Design Contract for Oman's 500 MW Al Kamil I Solar Power Project

Spanish engineering consultancy IDOM has secured a detailed engineering design contract for the 500 MW Al Kamil I Solar Independent Power Project (IPP) in Oman, strengthening its presence in the Middle East's expanding renewable energy sector. The award, announced on October 19, 2026, was granted by China's Shanxi Installation Group, the project's engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) contractor.

Located in Al Kamil Wal Wafi, South Al Sharqiyah Governorate, the solar power facility is being developed by a consortium comprising EDF Power Solutions, Oman National Engineering & Investment Company (ONEIC) and OQ Alternative Energy.

IDOM's scope includes detailed engineering design and initial site studies to support the development of the utility-scale photovoltaic facility. The consultancy will collaborate with Shanxi Installation Group, which secured the EPC contract in July 2026.

The solar project, estimated to involve an investment of approximately $260 million, will contribute to Oman's renewable energy diversification strategy and increasing electricity demand.

The development presents opportunities for solar module suppliers, electrical equipment manufacturers, civil contractors, structural engineering firms, cabling specialists and grid infrastructure providers.

The engineering award marks another implementation milestone, supporting Oman's transition towards cleaner power generation and long-term energy sustainability objectives.
