Oman-based Rural Areas Electricity Company (RAECo) has selected CESI Middle East to provide consultancy services, oversee the construction and implementation of renewable resource projects across the country.

Currently located in Dhofar and Al Wusta Governorates, the projects will have their final location decided through feasibility studies.

Under the deal, CESI will conduct an array of trainings to enhance staff capabilities to perform the implementation activities and to deal with any renewable energy technology matters.

Additionally, the company will provide full technical and economic feasibility studies for each project, and assist RAECo in the tendering phase and in the evaluation of bids.

CESI will also provide RAECo with the expertise to implement renewable energy systems across the different projects, in-turn saving manpower, spare parts and most importantly, reducing the consumption of diesel fuel.

Drawing upon a new internal renewable energy strategy and policy developed by CESI, RAECo is expected to increase the capacity at its renewable energy plants.

RAECo CEO Hamed bin Salim al Magdheri was quoted by Oman Observer as saying: "With Oman having one of the highest potential of harnessing solar energy in the world, RAECO’s renewable energy projects will further enhance its position as one of the leading companies in the renewable energy sector.

"We are confident that our work with CESI will support the Sultanate of Oman in exploiting renewable energy resources, securing a sustainable future for generations to come."

CESI Middle East managing director Floris Hendrikus Schulze said: "CESI recently being awarded projects in the Sultanate of Oman, including the Automated Meter Reading project, will further solidify CESI’s technical consulting experience in the country and the region."

The deal is expected to contribute to reducing the country’s reliance on fossil fuels.
