Doosan Enerbility announced Friday that it has signed a contract worth 930 billion won ($663 million) to build a gas combined-cycle power plant in Oman.

The project will develop a 1,700 MW facility about 20 kilometers west of the Omani capital Muscat, with completion targeted for April 2029. Doosan Enerbility will carry out full engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) in a consortium with power plant construction firm Sepco3. The company will also directly supply steam turbines and generators, the plant's core equipment.

The project was commissioned by a consortium of global developers: Qatar's Nebras Power, EUDC — a development and investment subsidiary of the UAE's Etihad Water and Electricity — and Oman's Bahwan Infrastructure Services (BIS).

"Our successful project execution and differentiated strategy in neighboring Middle Eastern countries such as Saudi Arabia and Qatar led to this contract award," said Lee Hyeon-ho, head of Doosan Enerbility's Plant EPC business group. "We will work with our partners to build a world-class power plant and contribute to stabilizing Oman's electricity supply."

Doosan Enerbility has been strengthening its position in the global gas combined-cycle power market, starting with the Qatar peaking unit project in February last year, followed by contracts for the Luma 1, Nairiyah 1 and PP12 projects in Saudi Arabia in March of that year.
