Renewable Integration and Energy Efficiency Strategy for Oman’s Industrial Estates

Renewable Integration and Energy
Client
An Omani public authority overseeing several industrial estates engaged Eurogroup Consulting to develop a renewable energy and efficiency strategy that would reduce operational costs, improve sustainability performance, and align with Oman Vision 2040’s goals for industrial diversification and environmental stewardship.
Issues
The authority faced growing electricity demand and high operational costs driven by energy-intensive industrial tenants. Heavy reliance on gas-powered generation created exposure to fuel price fluctuations and constrained efforts to decarbonize. Several estates lacked structured frameworks to attract renewable energy developers or introduce energy-saving technologies. The client needed a roadmap that would enhance efficiency, reduce emissions, and integrate renewable energy into day-to-day operations.
Solution
Eurogroup Consulting designed a Renewable Integration and Energy Efficiency Strategy tailored to Oman’s industrial ecosystem. The plan combined renewable generation, demand-side efficiency programs, and financing mechanisms to attract private investment. The objective was to enable the authority to transition toward clean, reliable, and cost-effective power supply systems across its industrial estates.
Approach

Our engagement began with a detailed technical and operational assessment of energy consumption patterns across key industrial zones. We analyzed grid performance, peak demand cycles, and renewable resource potential to identify opportunities for sustainable transition. Based on these findings, we developed a phased roadmap that included:

  • Comprehensive energy audits to identify efficiency improvements in high-consumption facilities
  • Feasibility studies for solar PV and hybrid systems integrated with existing grid networks
  • Design of an energy management framework enabling real-time monitoring and optimization
  • Development of financing and partnership models to engage private developers under lease and build-operate-transfer schemes
  • Capacity-building workshops for estate operators and technical teams on energy performance management
  • Policy recommendations for integrating renewable requirements into industrial planning regulations
Recommendations:
We advised establishing a Green Energy Unit within the authority to coordinate renewable projects, monitor implementation progress, and liaise with regulators and private partners. Additionally, we recommended adopting energy performance contracting (EPC) to incentivize efficiency investments among industrial tenants.
Engagement ROI

The roadmap enabled the client to implement pilot solar installations covering 25% of total power demand in two industrial estates, reducing annual CO₂ emissions by 18% and cutting operating costs by nearly 15%. The initiative also enhanced the estates’ reputation among investors seeking sustainable operations, positioning the authority as a frontrunner in Oman’s clean energy transition.

Eurogroup Consulting’s expertise helped transform Oman’s industrial zones into energy-efficient, cost-competitive, and environmentally responsible hubs, contributing to the country’s Vision 2040 objectives for a low-carbon and diversified economy.
