On a Sunday in Muscat this May, two signatures turned 2.7 gigawatts of wind, solar and batteries into a promise of nearly 770 megawatts that never switch off.
The signature on the seller’s side belonged to Mustafa Mohammed Al Hinai, CEO of O-Green Energy, the platform Oman founded in 2025 through OQ Alternative Energy and Naqaa Sustainable Energy. The contract he signed with Nama Power and Water Procurement covers the Continuous Renewable Energy Project across Mahout and Duqm, which Oman News Agency calls one of the world’s largest hybrid continuous renewables projects, with commercial operations targeted for summer 2028.
Run the arithmetic. Roughly 3.5 megawatts get built for every megawatt guaranteed around the clock. My read is that this ratio, and the fact that a sovereign single buyer signed for it, says more about where MENA wind is heading than any headline gigawatt number.
Founded only last year, Al Hinai’s platform already reports 11 GW of generation and storage under development across 12 countries, with more than 3.3 GW secured. He calls the project “very much linked” to the Mawarid wind turbine factory under construction in Oman.
We think Oman just set the region’s benchmark: electricity sold as a product that shows up.
Which MENA buyer contracts firmness at this scale next?
