Muscat – A consortium led by EDF power solutions, Al Khadra Partners and OQ Alternative Energy (OQAE) on Tuesday announced the successful financial close of the 120MW Jaalan Bani Bu Ali (JBB) Wind Independent Power Project in Oman.

The project follows the signing of a 20-year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) with Nama Power and Water Procurement Company (Nama PWP) in December 2025, marking a significant milestone in the development of one of Oman’s largest onshore wind farms.

Located in South Sharqiyah Governorate, the JBB Wind Independent Power Project will comprise 16 wind turbines, each with a generation capacity of 7.7MW. Commercial operations are expected to begin in the third quarter of 2027.

Once operational, the JBB Wind Farm is expected to generate enough renewable electricity to power more than 13,500 Omani households annually, while avoiding more than 270,000 tonnes of CO₂ emissions each year.

The project is also expected to contribute to local economic development through job creation, skills transfer and opportunities for Omani businesses during both the construction and operational phases.

In a press release, Luc Koechlin, CEO, Middle East, of EDF power solutions, said achieving financial close on the JBB Wind Project was a major milestone for all partners involved and demonstrated lenders’ confidence in both the project and Oman’s renewable energy market.

“This project marks EDF power solutions’ inaugural wind transaction in Oman, further strengthening our commitment to supporting the sultanate’s energy transition through the development of competitive and low-carbon energy solutions,” he said.
