Oman
Oman's infrastructure market is anchored by Nama Power and Water Procurement Company's single-buyer model for independent power and water projects, alongside a growing green hydrogen and renewable energy pipeline centred on the Special Economic Zone at Duqm. Major logistics infrastructure spans Duqm, Sohar and Salalah, complemented by the Hafeet Rail cross-border freight link to the UAE. The active pipeline includes solar, wind and green hydrogen developments, water desalination, port expansion and projects delivered within Oman's public-private partnership and tender frameworks under the Ministry of Finance and the Projects, Tenders, and Local Content Authority.
